Why Native Plants?
​Doug Tallamy's ​"Gardening for Life." 

Native plants are those that were growing in this area before the 1500s when European colonists brought other plants here. Native insects evolved with these plants and can subsist only on those specific indigenous flowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees.
