Planting native plants in your yard is a great way to bring more pollinators and wildlife to you!! A native plant is a plant that is a part of the balance of nature that has developed over hundreds or thousands of years in a particular region or ecosystem.
There are many benefits of landscaping and gardening with native plants including conserving water, protecting soil from erosion, and creating habitat and providing food for many different animals including birds, pollinators, and small mammals. Simply by growing native plants gardeners can bring enormous beauty to a community and joy to its residents. In addition, native plants are easy-to-grow and require minimal maintenance.
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is another great resource! First Lady Lady Bird Johnson was the powerful force behind the push for wildflowers to be spread across the highways of Texas and why we enjoy their blooms across the state today!
