The use of native plants in landscaping is a celebration of our natural heritage and an awakening of a land ethic first expressed by Aldo Leopold more tha 50 years ago.

The natural  processes from which natives evolve represent the cog and wheel of a healthy ecosystem sustained by a complex web of  biological diversity.

Native plants have many inherent qualities and adaptive traits that make them aestheticaly pleasing, praticial and ecologically valuable for landscaping.

Using native plants contributes to the health & often the restoration of the ecosystem.  Landscaping with natives in the urban setting helps restor regional charecter and places fewer demands on the resources.
