Most planting objectives fall into the following categories; • Erosion control, soil & water stabilization • Bioremediation to correct environmental problems • Beautification & enhancement of landscape • Historical, cultural & ecological restoration • Biodiversity & wildlife habitant enhancement & restoration Look for icons below corresponding to the above categories! Use of environmentally friendly native plants saves time and money by reducing chemical, fertilizer and maintenance needs.
