ECONOMIC BENEFITS Over the long term, native landscaping is more cost-effective than traditional landscaping, saving hundreds up to several thousands of dollars annually in maintenance costs. Natives exist in harmony with nature, meaning fewer hassles, less manpower and more free time to enjoy the special beauty these plants provide.
AESTHETIC BENEFITS While traditional lawns use only two to four species of grass, native landscape designs can include dozens of species of trees, shrubs, grasses and wildflowers, all blooming at different times during the growing season. Each is unique and constantly evolving; this year-round attractiveness is what many find most appealing. And because there are native species that thrive in wet, dry, sunny or shady locations, "problem areas" are no problem with native landscaping.
EDUCATIONAL, RECREATIONAL BENEFITS AND BEYOND Native landscapes are hands-on opportunities for people of all ages to learn about habitats and ecosystems. They hold historical and cultural value as well; Native Americans and early settlers used these plants for a variety of purposes. A native landscape also provides the ideal setting for bird and butterfly watching, photography and nature walks. And did you know that a 2001 study by Cornell University showed that living in surroundings with a natural habitat provides measurable benefits to a child's mental health?
