Native Shrubs

Native shrubs are shrub species that are indigenous to a specific region and have adapted to the local climate, soil, and wildlife. Examples include American beautyberry, serviceberry, and spicebush. These shrubs are often used in naturalistic landscapes, wildlife gardens, and restoration projects to support local ecosystems and promote biodiversity. Native shrubs provide food, shelter, and nesting sites for birds, insects, and other wildlife, while also contributing to the visual appeal of the landscape. They are typically hardy, drought-tolerant, and require minimal maintenance, making them an excellent choice for sustainable gardening. When designing with native shrubs, it’s important to consider their mature size, growth habits, and environmental needs to ensure they thrive in the chosen location. Regular care, such as pruning and mulching, helps keep native shrubs healthy and attractive throughout the year.
