NATIVE PLANT NURSERIES

WHY CHOOSE NATIVE PLANTS?

 

• Native wildflowers increase natural landscape beauty and add to Ontario's vast diversity of butterflies, insects, birds and mammals.

• Native plants are an excellent choice for gardens and restoration projects because they: are low maintenance as they are hardier and more adaptable as they have lived in this region for hundreds of years;

• Reduce the use of pesticides by out competing invasive species;

• Provide a source of food for many different types of insects, birds and mammals;

• Can help attract a variety of pollinator species to your garden including native bees, butterflies and insects;

• They promote overall biodiversity and ecological health of ecosystems

Native Plant Nurseries defines native plants as a native plant is any species existing prior to European colonization
