Landscaping with native wildflowers and grasses improves the environment.
Natural landscaping brings a taste of wilderness to urban, suburban,
and corporate settings by attracting a variety of birds, butterflies
and other animals. Once established, native plants do not need fertilizers,
herbicides, pesticides or watering, thus benefiting the environment
and reducing maintenance costs. Gardeners and admirers enjoy the variety
of colors, shapes, and seasonal beauty of these plants. This site
has information on native forest, prairie, and wetland sites as well
as plant lists and case studies.
