5 Landscaping Uses for Native Plants Naturalizing Shade Gardening Many showy native alternatives to traditional invasive groundcovers, especially if you have an area that is protected from deer Wildlife gardening Attracting pollinators and other beneficial insects

6 -- EXOTIC PLANTS are plants that did not exist locally before human settlement (they are introduced species). --INVASIVE PLANTS are plants that are exotic and extremely aggressive and may pose a threat to native ecosystems. Invasive plants become problematic because they lack natural predators, which keep them in check in their home range.

7 Threats posed by Invasive Plants High cost of removal Negative impacts on native vegetation, because of competition and allelopathy Reduction in biodiversity Can quickly dominate home landscapes, choking out other plantings. Photo by Keith Mor
