Supporting biodiversity: Native plants have evolved and adapted to specific ecosystems, providing habitats and food for native species.
Native plants require less water once established than non-native ones due to their climate adaptation. Water-efficient plants help sustain landscaping.
Soil Health: Native plant root systems minimize erosion, improve structure, and sustain microbial activity. They improve soil health and fertility.
Many native plants developed alongside local pollinators including bees, butterflies, and birds. Planting native species helps pollinators, essential for plant reproduction and ecosystem health.
Pest and Disease Resistance: Native plants resist local pests and diseases, decreasing chemical use. It improves ecological balance.
Indigenous people value native flora' cultural and aesthetic features, which represent the region's natural beauty.
Native plants are better adapted to local climate, including temperature fluctuations and seasonal changes. This adaptation helps ecosystems withstand climate change.
Support for Wildlife: Native plants provide nectar, seeds, and shelter to insects, birds, and mammals, sustaining a healthy food web.
