Native planting involves using plants that are indigenous to a specific region, promoting local biodiversity and ecosystem health. These plants are adapted to the local climate, soil, and wildlife, making them more resilient and easier to maintain than non-native species. By incorporating native plants into gardens and landscapes, individuals can support local wildlife, such as pollinators and birds, while reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Native planting also helps to conserve water and prevent soil erosion, contributing to a healthier environment overall.
