Why grow natives?
Native plants can add beauty to any garden or landscape. Many native plants produce showy flowers, abundant fruits and seeds, brilliant fall foliage and winter interest.
Native plants are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions where they naturally occur. Unlike many non-native garden ornamentals, native plants provide nectar, pollen, and seeds that serve as food for native butterflies, insects, birds and other animals. Plants that evolved here in Virginia are food for animals that evolved here in Virginia. It is as simple as that.
Planting natives can increase the native biodiversity of your backyard and collectively these native gardens can increase the overall amount of natural habitat available for wildlife.
Natives can be used everywhere in your landscape. They are appropriate for both small and large gardens, native meadows and both open woodlands and shaded woodlands. Native plants are found in all soil types and in all habitat types here in Virginia. We aim to offer plants that can grow anywhere and do so beautifully!
