Native Plants
Native plants are adapted to our local environmental conditions, so they need less water which
saves you time, money, water and energy. In addition, birds and wildlife will gravitate
to these plants. False Indigo and Gaillardia are beautiful, however there are a few,
such as poison ivy, that you should not add to your garden.
