Why Native Plants Matter
Native plants are one of the most impactful choices you can make for a healthier, more resilient home landscape.
They are vital because they:
🦋 Support local wildlife — providing food, shelter, and nectar for butterflies, bees, birds, and other pollinators.
🌿 Restore natural ecosystems — helping rebuild native plant communities that have been lost over time.
💧 Save water — native species are adapted to our climate, requiring far less irrigation than non-native ornamentals.
🐞 Resist pests naturally — reducing the need for pesticides and encouraging a balanced environment.
🌱 Are easier to grow — perfectly suited to our soil, rainfall, heat, and humidity, they thrive with minimal maintenance.
🌎 Promote long-term sustainability — creating landscapes that benefit homeowners, wildlife, and the environment for generations.
Don’t Forget the Compost Village!
Before you leave, be sure to stop by the Compost Village to:
🍌 Drop off your kitchen scraps and support our community compost initiative.
🔄 Learn how compost works through live demonstrations from UF/IFAS Master Gardeners.
🪱 Take home finished compost to help your new native plants get the healthiest, strongest start possible.
