Native Plants in the Home Landscape | Volunteer Gardener

Native plants have evolved in a region with adaptations to the geology, climate, soil, to the wildlife, and to the other plants. Therefore, a key to successful ornamental gardening would be to include a high percentage of native trees, shrubs and perennials. Tammy Algood discusses the attributes of natives with Margie Hunter, author of 'Gardening with Native Plants of Tennessee: The Spirit of Place'.
