Here’s Why You Should Use Native Plants In Your Landscaping
At Wild Irishman Tree and Landscape we know that you care about the environment just as much as we do. Using plants that are native to your home’s surroundings is better for your environment, they are more sustainable, protect local wildlife, and will need less help adapting to their new environment! Let’s break down why adding native plants in your landscaping this summer is a good idea.
Easy Care
Native plants are low maintenance. Since these plants are already native to your home’s specific climate, it will take far less effort for them to acclimate to their new surroundings. Already being adjusted to your home’s climate also means your native plants will have a much lower demand for resources such as water or fertilizer which will save you money and time! You may need to help these plants grow a little bit initially, but once they are established in your landscaping they will need little to no help thriving year after year!
Connection
Using native plants in your landscaping can give your home a sense of place. Just one step into your yard and you're transported into the local wilderness even if you live in a city! Plants can be a great way to connect to a place. Using native plants in your landscaping provides a sense of connection to the land your home is located on and shows respect to the wildlife that is already there.
Supporting Local Wildlife
Utilizing native plants in your landscaping will help support your local ecosystem. Native plants and flowers provide shelter and food for local butterflies, birds, bats, squirrels, and other life forms that may live in your neck of the woods. By planting foliage that is native to your home’s landscape you will be supporting the health and well being of your neighborhood’s local ecosystem and supporting local pollinators!
Surviving Weather Extremes
Another great perk of using native plants in your landscaping is that they are much more resilient to extreme weather patterns. Some landscaping foliage have tendencies to become droopy in the summer or frost over and die in the winter. Native plants are more adjusted to the extreme weather patterns in your area and have a much higher chance of surviving scorching summers or freezing winters!
Non-invasive
In general native plants are non-invasive species, which is better for your garden and your wallet. When you are deciding what foliage to choose for your landscaping it is important to look up plants that are invasive to your home’s landscape as to not contribute to a problem of overpopulation within your community. Invasive plants can control all other growth in your garden so using native plants can eliminate this issue and will save you money and time!
