Create a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape using Michigan native plants. Support local pollinators, reduce water usage, and enjoy gardens that are naturally adapted to Oakland County's climate.
Michigan native plants evolved alongside local wildlife over thousands of years. They support native bees, butterflies, and birds in ways that non-native plants simply cannot — and they do it with minimal care once established.
Native plant gardens require significantly less water, fertilizer, and pesticide than traditional landscapes once established. They're adapted to Oakland County's soil and rainfall patterns — they evolved here.
Beyond the environmental benefits, native plant gardens are genuinely beautiful. Michigan natives like coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, native grasses, and wild bergamot provide months of color and attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
Top pollinator plants for Oakland County include purple coneflower (Echinacea), black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia), wild bergamot (Monarda), native asters, goldenrod, and native milkweed for monarch butterflies.
