Native Roots Collection
The environmental reasons for gardening with native plants are positive and compelling. Native plants increase biodiversity, provide habitat for a variety of creatures including birds and butterflies, provide a home for many native plants that are becoming increasingly rare in the wild, conserve water and help to eliminate the need for extensive use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Less work and lots of beauty!
