Native vegetation

These plants are born to be wild. Native vegetation refers to grasses, wildflowers, and other plant life that grows naturally in a certain region and climate, as opposed to those that are forced to exist where they don't belong. Cultivating and encouraging native vegetation is an eco-friendly move; it doesn't require the watering, fertilizers, or pesticides that non-native plants do, so it's better for the environment. Native vegetation is also good for native wildlife.
