Why plant native plants and use them in landscaping? What difference does it make if I plant a native tree?
There are many benefits of planting with natives, especially those that are native to your neighborhood specifically. Native plant species have already adapted to South Florida’s climate and soils, so oftentimes they do not require much/any fertilizer, pesticides, irrigation, or other time-consuming and expensive maintenance that most non-native landscaping plants usually require: leaving more time for you to simply enjoy them!
