A town in Essex County, New Jersey, is set to approve an ordinance mandating only plants that naturally grow in our area be planted on town property. MegBakerTV reports.
"Because they evolved in our climate, they know our weather patterns, so they survive our harsh winters, they can deal with drought in the summer. So they require a lot less care, they don't have to constantly be watered," Wasmuth said.
"We do want to really encourage people to do this on their private property as well. Do it on your front lawns, do it in your back yards," Yacobellis said."But we also need the suppliers to catch up. We can't go out and buy 100% of native trees for Montclair because they aren't available." Wasmuth points out some options that can be ordered online and delivered to your home in time, such as Jacob's ladder and goldenrod.
"We don't cut it down over the winter, because the birds are still depending on it for food, for seeds and also in the spring for nesting materials," Wasmuth said. The Northeast Earth Coalition has a list of native plants on their website.
