Boost Biodiversity in Your Landscape by Adding Native Plants
Earth Day, Every Day: Native Plants
It's Earth Day week! Let's hear it for our beautiful planet. We must protect, respect, and celebrate our Earth, not destroy it. While there are many things we can do, like planting trees, reducing waste, and even basking in the great outdoors, property owners can take the lead and do other things to benefit the environment. Are you preparing for a new landscape design for your property? If so, consider adding native plants.
California is home to a rich and diverse selection of native plants. Unfortunately, wild plant populations are diminishing due to new development and competition from invasive non-native plants. This is bad news because there are entire ecosystems that depend on native plants. For example, monarch butterfly's young can only survive on milkweed. Fortunately, there are 15 species of milkweed native to California.

The following are some of the benefits of designing with native plants in San Diego:
- Conserves water: California nativeplants are naturally drought-tolerant. According to the California Department of Water Resources (DWR), native plants require significantly less water than non-native species or turf grass.
- Supports local biodiversity: Creates a more diverse and balanced ecosystem. Native plants support a greater variety of birds, insects, and other wildlife.
- Low maintenance: Native plants require less pruning, weeding, and mowing than non-native species.
- Improves air quality: They can help filter pollutants from the air and even absorb carbon dioxide, contributing to a cleaner environment and improved air quality.
- Erosion control: Native plants with deep roots can help stabilize and prevent erosion. Native plants are especially valuable in a landscape during heavy rainfall.
