Did you know that many of our local nurseries and garden centers carry native plants? Selecting plant species for your landscape that are native to New Jersey can help to support populations of pollinators and songbirds. Many native species are pest and disease resistant and do not require much fertilizer or water to grow well because they are adapted to the environmental conditions in our area. This presentation will discuss low-input, native ornamental plants that are suited to various site conditions and can be found this spring at your local garden centers.
