I’ve been diving into the benefits of integrating native plants into our landscaping practices. Not only do they support local biodiversity, but they also require less maintenance and water compared to non-native species. Have any of you had success in transitioning your gardens to be more native-focused? I’d love to hear your experiences and any specific species that have thrived.
I’ve started incorporating more native wildflowers, and it’s like throwing a party for the pollinators! They’re low maintenance once established, but be careful, some non-natives can sneak in. Have you tried specific natives in your area yet?
Going native has really transformed my garden, especially with butterfly bush and prairie dropseed that thrive with minimal watering. It’s great to see more pollinators around! Have you noticed any specific challenges with the transition, @meganH_303?
