Native plants play a vital role in supporting our lives as well as the biodiversity around us. When starting a home garden either indoors or outdoors, one must consider choosing plants which are indigenous or native to the environment one lives in.

3 reasons why you must choose native plants for your garden:

1. They complete their family – other plant species find it easy to co-exist with them.
2. Their friends depend on them – birds, butterflies, insects, worms, etc derive their food, nutrition, shelter, medicines in the form of nectar, pollen, seeds, leaves from them.
3. They hold us together – moisture, soil, water, sunlight – all facilitate the natural multiplication of plants and become a part of the larger ecosystem we thrive in.

Besides the above, native plants are also low on maintenance as they’re well equipped to adapt with the local environment.

When starting a home garden either indoors or outdoors, one must consider choosing plants which are indigenous or native to the environment. This is the foundation of building an eco-friendly garden. Native plants also tend to have higher medicinal value which is good for your well-being.
