The key to a carefree garden is to know which plants will thrive under
local conditions and which ones are better left at the nursery. With
watering restrictions becoming increasingly common, and rising concerns
about exotic invasive species, gardeners have to be savvy about plant
selection, making native plants both a practical and ecological choice.

style--formal, informal or a mix--there are native plants to help you

light humor and down-to-earth perspective, as well as lavish photos by
