Native Intelligence
Season 11 Episode 2 | 27m 2sVideo has Closed Captions
Experts will help us to understand why "planting native" is the intelligent thing to do.
Wherever you go in North Carolina you will find a blanket of greenery – trees, shrubs, flowers, and grasses. Much of the greenery, especially in our urban areas, is comprised of ornamental alien species. This increasing use of non-native plant material seems to defy logic, since we live in one of the "hotbeds" of biodiversity in the temperate world.
