Native Plants on Your Property — By Province

Regionally native plants are those that have grown wild in your area for many centuries. They have co-evolved with, and are therefore adapted to, the local environment and wildlife.

Whether it be tall shade trees, shrubs or perennials, native plants are important to use in gardens. It is to the benefit of local ecosystems, and the plants and animals in them, to incorporate native plants in your outdoor space.
