Garden with plants that are native to your community, region or state. Native plants are better suited to your climate, usually require less water than the non-natives, require no pesticides and, best of all, many attract wildlife like hummingbirds (and other birds) and butterflies.

To find a nursery that carries native plants in your area, you can check with your local native plant society. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center has a list of nurseries across the country.
