Welcome to The Plant Native
Native gardens made easy for busy people.
Why native plants?
Native plants evolved over thousands of years in your region. They know your soil, your weather, your wildlife.
They thrive with less fuss, support butterflies and birds, and give you a yard that feels alive, not overworked.

Tips from Growers + Garden Pros
Even the most talented gardeners out there still kill plants. It is going to happen. Try to learn from it rather than let it discourage you. However, you can certainly minimize your chances of killing plants by working with species that are adapted to the light, water, and soil conditions of wherever you are gardening.
