Why Native Plants?
Native plants are the backbone of healthy New England landscapes. They’ve evolved here over thousands of years, which means they support local wildlife, handle our unpredictable weather, and bring back the beauty and resilience our yards often miss.
A Healthier, More Vibrant Landscape
Traditional lawns and highly cultivated plants may look tidy, but they often lack the food, shelter, and seasonal interest our ecosystems rely on. Native plants do the opposite — they invite birds, bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects back into our outdoor spaces.
Nature-Friendly by Design
When you plant natives, you’re choosing species perfectly adapted to:
-
New England’s freeze-thaw cycles
-
Droughts and heavy rain
-
Local soils
-
Native pollinators and wildlife
Instead of requiring constant watering, feeding, or babying, natives thrive on their own — and bring your landscape to life in the process.
Beauty with Purpose
Native plants add four-season interest: blossoms in spring, structure in summer, color in fall, and seedheads that feed birds through winter. They make your yard feel alive, dynamic, and connected to the land around you.
A Simple Way to Make a Big Impact
Adding even a few native species can:
-
Reduce maintenance
-
Improve soil health
-
Support declining pollinator populations
-
Restore habitat right in your backyard
Gardening with natives isn’t just rewarding — it’s restorative, sustainable, and deeply impactful.
