Native Plants
What are native plants?
Native plants are locally evolved plants to your area.
These have evolved over millennia alongside the local wildlife and are the foundation to all ecosystems.
Plants take energy from the sun and pass it on to all other lifeforms, directly and indirectly.
Without plants, we have no life.
