Native Plants

Native plants are one of the most rewarding choices you can make for your landscape and your local ecosystem. Unlike non-native varieties, natives evolved alongside local wildlife. So they naturally support the insects, birds, and pollinators that depend on them. By adding native plants to your garden, you create a habitat that gives back to nature. It looks beautiful all season long too.

At Garden Crossings, our collection spans annuals, edibles, perennials, and shrubs, all chosen for strong wildlife value and garden performance. You'll find varieties that attract monarch butterflies, support native bees, and feed seed-eating birds like goldfinches and cardinals. Because these plants are adapted to local conditions, they're easy to grow and require less watering. They also thrive with minimal maintenance once established.
