Garden Expo May 19th & 20th

Using native plants in your landscape is great for the environment. They require less water than other plants. Often insects are not attracted to native plants either. They also require less fertilizer and care in many cases. Progressive Dahlonegan's now have the opportunity to learn more about native plants in the area.

If more homeowners would give up the traditional fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide loaded lawns our environment would benefit. They would also require less frequent watering which is very important this time of year.

Native plants and wildflower lawns are a great solution.
