The Benefits of Planting Native Plants in Your Garden 

Choosing the proper plants to plant in your outdoor space can be an overwhelming decision. If you’ve ever been to a nursery, you’ve probably been overwhelmed with all the options available to choose from! If you ever find yourself having difficulty deciding what to plant, it is always best to choose native plants to fill your outdoor space with! Here are some of the most beneficial aspects of native planting:

Attract pollinators and endangered species 

This will provide protection for species like the southern plains bumblebee, the monarch butterfly, and the bachman’s warbler. Plus, you get to enjoy the sight of these beautiful creatures throughout the day.

Require less natural resources to keep alive 

This will cut back on your water usage, as well as how frequently it is necessary to prune and mow, making these plants an amazing low maintenance gardening option. 

More likely to thrive in their environment 

Plants that are planted in their native environment are more likely to survive and thrive. This is because they were bred for the type of environment that South Carolina offers.

Less likely to become invasive 

It is very common for non-native plants to become invasive. If the environment they have been put in contains an amount of vitamins and nutrients, the plant can continue growing vigorously. Planting native plants will ensure that they are not receiving an amount of nutrients that could cause the plant to become invasive.
