Landscaping with plants native to local ecoregions

Efforts aimed at preservation of natural lands with their unique and diverse wildlife can have great beneficial impact on the environment we live in. Another fantastic way to support the local ecosystem is to use landscaping techniques that allow pollinators, birds and other wildlife to thrive. Gardening with plants native to the local ecosystem can introduce us to beautiful flowers and plants and connect us with the living earth around us.
