Why should we care about native plants? Native plants have co-evolved with our native birds, bees, insects and animals. They thrive in local areas and require fewer human input. Their long roots help rainwater soak into ground quickly, and their filtering ability helps protect our rivers and lakes from pollution. Native plants also replenish groundwater and sequester carbon. Native plants give us a direct connection to nature and to place. Even small additions of native plants improve the environment and benefit wildlife.
