PHILLIPS ANIMAL MEDICAL HOSPITAL 2730 West Franklin Blvd. • Gastonia, NC (Just below Walmart) The case f The case foor choosing nativ plant r choosing nativee plants One of the best ways to improve a home's resale value is to address the landscape. Increasing a property's curb appeal can be done in many ways, but a well-pruned lawn and garden gives buyers the impression that the sell- ers truly took the time to maintain the home and the surrounding property. Unfortunately, many homeowners choose exotic plants when addressing their landscape. Though these plants can be appealing and make a property stand out, if the plants are not native to the region, they could be doing more harm than good. Instead of upgrading your property with exotic plants from a far away land, consider the following benefi ts of choosing native plants before addressing your landscape. • Native plants benefi t local wildlife. The native plants and the native wildlife spent years and years evolving together, with each doing their part to ensure the other's survival. But as development continued, local wildlife suffered because of lost food sources. The local wildlife needs local, native plants to survive, so choosing these plants instead of exotic plants can help ensure the survival of wildlife that helps keep the ecosystem in check. • Native plants require less work. Some prospective home buyers might fi nd a yard fi lled with exotic plants to be visually stunning, but they might also see a good deal of work to maintain those plants. Many exotic plants require signifi cant work on a homeowner's part to survive, while native plants have already adapted to the local climate and will require much less care. This is often attractive to current and future homeowners alike. • Native plants might be a better investment. A native plant has evolved over the years to survive in its given area. Local insect populations and fungal infections might be able to destroy an exotic plant, but a native plant has grown resistant to such problems and likely has the ability to fi ght such infestations or infections on its own. An exotic plant might require costly pesticides and considerable attention from homeowners to survive such problems. Though homeowners might fi nd exotic plants help their home stand out from their neighbors', it's important that homeowners recognize the environ- mental benefi ts of choosing local plants before making any decisions.
