why plant native?
If you try to grow plants in NW Florida that don't belong in NW Florida, you're gonna have a bad time.
Our environment is rather extreme:
we experience temperatures from 100+ degrees to below freezing,
go months with little to no rain and then get tropical storm flooding,
and have soils that range from sand to clay to swampy muck.
WHY FIGHT NATURE?
Cultivated plants from elsewhere may struggle to survive but native plants have evolved over millennia, adapting precisely to our unique conditions.
BENEFITS OF GROWING NATIVE
