Vermont Native Plants

Cultivating a garden using Vermont’s native plants is a sustainable way to enhance the local ecosystem while creating a visually pleasing landscape. Here’s a helpful guide to get you started:

  1. Understand Your Garden: Know your garden’s light exposure, soil type, and moisture levels. This will guide your choice of native plants.
  2. Diversify Your Plant Selection: Use a mix of trees, shrubs, and perennials for visual interest and to support a wide range of wildlife.
  3. Opt for Native Trees: Red Maple and Eastern Hemlock are native to Vermont and offer generous shade and vibrant seasonal colors.
  4. Include Native Shrubs: Shrubs like Highbush Blueberry and Red Osier Dogwood provide beautiful blossoms, autumn color, and winter interest.
  5. Choose Native Perennials: Wildflowers such as New England Aster and Cardinal Flower not only bring color but also attract pollinators to your garden.
  6. Consider Native Grasses: Grasses like Switchgrass provide texture and structure to your garden.
  7. Exercise Patience: Native plants might take some time to establish, but they tend to require less maintenance and are more resistant to pests and diseases.
  8. Reach Out to Local Experts: Local native plant societies, nurseries, and botanical gardens can offer invaluable advice and resources.

By implementing these tips, you can contribute to biodiversity conservation, create habitats for local wildlife, and enjoy a beautiful garden that thrives year-round.
