When the time comes to choose vegetation for your landscaping, opt for native plants, as they are adapted to our environment. First of all, they can live in our climate. Therefore, they grow easily and they need very little maintenance. Wild flowers, shrubs and trees offers breeding ground for pollinators (like bees), birds, butterflies and other representatives of our native fauna.

Advantages of landscaping with native plants
  • Adapts to their environment
  • Offers food and shelter for birds and insects
  • Improve biodiversity
  • More resistant against diseases
  • Show beauty and richness of our flora
  • Don’t need lots of water

Finally, rather than plant species coming from abroad, ask your nursery native plants. You’ll be surprised of the result and the low maintenance!
