THE IMPACT OF
PLANTING NATIVE
lupine
According to the Nation Wildlife foundation,
native plants sequester carbon, use less water
and their roots help with storm-water runoff
to maintain healthy watersheds. Native plants have
formed symbiotic relationships with native wildlife
for over thousands of years, and therefore they offer
the most sustainable habitat. A Plant is considered native
if it has occurred naturally in a particular region,
ecosystem, or habitat without human introduction .
Exotic plants that evolved in other parts of the
world or were cultivated by humans into forms that
don’t exist in nature, do not support wildlife as well
as native plants. Occasionally, they can even escape
into the wild and become invasive exotics that destroy
habitat.
Native plants are low in maintenance and can
tolerate climate change and drought better then non
natives. They also require little if any watering and
no pesticides or fertilizer.
