Are you a novice when it comes to native plants? The Native Plant Center is here to help!

Asclepias tuberosa
Why the interest in native plants these days? As all gardeners know, matching the right plant to the right site can be difficult. Plants native to this continent or more specifically the northeast have developed survival strategies over millions of years. You might as well take advantage of this!

Native plants . . .
1. are usually more suited to our hot and humid summers
2. usually require less watering once established
3. often require less maintenance
4. often are less interesting to deer
5. help restore natural food and nectar sources for butterflies, hummingbirds and birds
6. can be as environmentally important as recycling
7. help you avoid the worry about unwittingly using invasive plants
