SHRUBS
Native Shrubs
Go native! More and more gardeners are opting for plants that grow naturally in our state, or for that matter, were around before we were. Naturalistic gardens, or taking some pointers from Mother Nature, is on the upswing. What better way to have a natural garden than by using plants found in nature.
Why this sudden craze for native plants? One reason, is that if they’ve survived so well on their own, think about how well they’ll do in your own garden given a little TLC. They have to be durable if they have survived the vagaries of our climate without weekly watering and frost protection. Often, natives have adapted defense mechanisms to pests common in their areas, or they have a high tolerance for pest damage. Therefore, natives tend to be more maintenance free than some of our exotics. But, what are natives, and how do you find them?
