B.C. Native Plants

Incorporating native plants into residential landscapes has become popular as garden designers recognize the importance of maintaining native habitats. Native plants are resilient and naturally adapted to their unique climate and environment. They are also the preferred choice of our native pollinators. Many native plants are attractive additions to cultivated gardens; maintaining a link between the natural environment and the gardens we create.
