Have you ever thought about gardening with native plants?

 There are so many resources for learning about these plants and one is The Native Plant Society of New Jersey.  This group works to promote, study and preserve our native plants.

 Using native plants has so many benefits.  First, you know that they are more likely to survive here.  Many are resistant to native insect and animal pests.  They won’t take over and displace native plants like many introduced species such as the Japanese Knotweed or Purple Loosestrife.

 They may not be as showy as some of the plants from the garden center but their beauty is more subtle.
