Back to Basics
If you check in here regularly, I bet you’ve noticed me extolling the benefits of native plants. I, like most ecologically minded gardening writers, will tell you that native plants are good for the environment, that they use fewer resources and require less maintenance, that they preserve biodiversity … but what does all this really mean?
Are natives really low maintenance? Should I put in a few varieties, or lots of different ones? Why are non-natives so bad, anyway? How did we get to the point that this is a problem? And can we talk about the deer?
Find the answers to these questions and more in the full article here. You’ll also find a list of native plants that are deer resistant - or as resistant as possible! Go Native. You won’t regret it!
