<p><strong>Why native plants?</strong></p>
<p>According to the The National Audubon Society:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.</p>
