Abstract

Native plant gardening. Native plants for cultivation.
Many gardeners prefer to use native plants in their landscapes. Part of this preference is the widespread belief that native species are better ecological choices, especially in providing habitat for native wildlife. Most published research demonstrates that the native status of trees and shrubs has little influence on biodiversity. This publication provides a more practical, science-based approach that will enhance both wildlife biodiversity and the aesthetic appeal of home landscapes.
