Choosing native plants for your garden can make it stronger and tougher, but there are some challenges:

• Limited Options: Native plants might not have the pretty colors and shapes some gardeners want.

• Bug Problems: Local bugs know how to eat native plants, so they might need extra care to keep them safe.

• Soil Issues: Not every native plant grows well in every type of soil. This could cause some plants to struggle or fail.

But don’t worry! You can solve these problems by:

• Learning about the plants that grow well in your area.

• Testing your soil to see what it needs.

• Talking to local gardening groups for help and advice.

By taking these steps, you can create a beautiful and strong garden with native plants!
