Native species are those that occur naturally in an area. They are better adapted
to local conditions, requiring less care once established. Native plants support
our native wildlife, in particular our birds, butterflies and bees (pollinators).
Introduced plants may become invasive, outcompeting the natives and not
providing the food and cover our native wildlife depend on.
