Native Landscaping... builds soil quality and enhances the landscapeWhat is Native Landscaping?Native landscaping is a simple way to reincorporate native grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees into the landscape. Native forbs, or flowers, bloom throughout the season and attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinator species. Hardy native grasses and shrubs also provide rich colors for fall and winter appeal. Once established, native plants are easy to maintain because they are adapted to Montana temperatures, rainfall patterns, and soil conditions. They also resist local pests and disease. Native plants reduce soil erosion, build soil structure, and absorb rainfall.
