About Native Plants
-
Native plants are great for our wildlife, soils, and local climate conditions!
-
They are great for any landscape and are highly tolerant to our year-round weather conditions.
-
Native plants can adapt to poor quality soils because of their extensive root systems.
-
They are drought tolerant and require less maintenance
-
Native plants also provide wildlife benefits like providing food and places to live.
-
The Missaukee Conservation District is dedicated to offering species adapted to our region.
-
Our goal is to educate about the importance of native plants and their connection to pollinators and native wildlife.
-
We also provide opportunities for the public to purchase native plants locally and for affordable prices.
