Native Plants
Why native plants? Native to Indiana means they occur naturally here and are usually more resistant to diseases and insects and often require less maintenance. This saves you time and money!Â
If you are interested in planting natives on your land to help out with maintaining our ecosystems and food webs be on the look out for our annual Native Plant Sale that the Montgomery County SWCD has each year in the spring. This is a sale that occurs through a pre-sale during April with the pick up date occurring in May with the perfect amount of time to get your plants into the ground. Our species and availability change from year to year so make sure to check out our website for updates in early April.Â
One of the main threats to native species in Indiana are invasive species. You can learn more about what invasive species are and how you can help here in Montgomery County here.
You can find contractors and local service providers to manage invasives and buy natives on our Contractors/Service Providers page.Â
