Native plant
Unfortunately, native plants, a vital part of the natural web of life, are being lost at an alarming rate. There are real and practical pay-offs to encouraging a more biologically diverse yard. Healthy, balanced ecosystems clean our water and our air. Native plant nurseries encourage gardeners to use native plants to promote local biodiversity. The Louisiana Native Plant Society is a good source to find a retail nursery nearest to you or for more general information about native plants of Louisiana.
