Choose native plants for your climate & conserve resources

TurfMutt – protector of green spaces everywhere – has a message for those of us gearing up for spring planting: choose the right plants and grasses for your climate.

Choose native plants to help the environment.

Plants and grasses that are indigenous to your climate will need less water and fertilization to survive. You can go to your local nursery or visit TurfMutt’s interactive U.S. Ecosystems Map to find your climate zone and discover which plants are native and will grow well in your area.

For instance, if you live in a drought-prone area, you will want to select plants and grass that withstand heat and need less water.
