Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are native plants, and why should I choose them for my garden?
Native plants are species that have naturally evolved and adapted to a specific region over time. They are well-suited to local climate conditions, soil, and wildlife. Choosing native plants for your garden benefits the environment by supporting pollinators, conserving water, and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Plus, they tend to be more resilient and require less maintenance than non-native species.
2. Do you ship plants year-round?
