Going Native will...

* Guide you through the benefits of going native,
* Provide tips on how to plan your native garden,

* Going chemical free,
* Dealing with pests and weeds,
* Understanding soil type,

To show off the beauty and variety of native plants, Going Native features over 80 full color photos of native plants across the U.S. and Canada. You'll also get ideas of which native plants will thrive in your area with Going Native's extensive regional plant list.

Although Going Native is written with gardeners from the U.S. and Canada in mind, gardeners around the world can use Going Native’s tips and information to create a healthy, low maintenance garden.
