Native Plants Hotline

Native plants offer a host of benefits to your garden—and growing them is one of the most powerful acts you can offer to improve our planet. In addition to their beauty, native plants provide nectar and pollen for insects, food for colorful birds and rare butterflies, homes for toads and salamanders, protection from stormwater, and a whole lot more. But what to plant in YOUR yard? Are there native plants that grow in the shade? In that annoying wet spot? On the patio’s edge? Call our native plants hotline, and our experts will answer your questions. Guests include our own Steve Goin, Director of Land and Facilities, and Max Paschall, Native Plants Coordinator, along with John Johnik of Good Host Plants.
