NATIVE PLANTS at PLANT SALE

Itea virginica - Sweetspire
You will find a nice variety of native plants at next Saturday's PITT COUNTY ARBORETUM PLANT SALE.

Why plant native plants?
Beauty
Many native plants produce showy flowers, abundant fruits and seeds, and brilliant fall foliage. By planting native plants, you will have a beautiful yard that is friendly to wildlife.
Low Maintenance
Native plants generally grow well and require little care when grown on proper soils under the right environmental conditions. By choosing the right native plants, you may be able to use fewer pesticides and less water.
