Native plants are perennials, which mean they come back year after year.  They have long root systems, requiring less watering, they are adapted to the Illinois climate and are best for the local wildlife and ecosystem.  Come see how you can incorporate these in your own yard!

All of these gardens are certified by the Conservation@Home program. This program recognizes and certifies properties that demonstrate environmentally sound landscape practices.
