At Avalon Gardens, we organically grow,
sell and landscape with plants native to the
Ohio region. Native plants, also called
indigenous plants, are plants that have
evolved over thousands of years in a
particular region. They have adapted to the
geography, hydrology, and climate of that
region. Native plants occur in communities,
that is, they have evolved together with
other plants. As a result, a community of
native plants provides habitat for a variety
of native wildlife species such as songbirds
and butterflies.
Not only does landscaping with native
plants preserve your local environment they:
-
Do not require
fertilizers
-
Require less water
-
Help reduce air
pollution
-
Provide shelter and
food for indigenous animals and insects
