Details: Savvy gardeners include native plants in their landscaping because they know
these species are hardy, disease-resistant, noninvasive, and beneficial to wildlife.
Most important for gardeners—they offer natural beauty that ranges from subtle to
supremely eye-catching.

More than 140 native perennials, grasses, groundcovers, ferns, shrubs, vines,
and trees are profiled and pictured in Native Plants for Your Maine Garden, along
with advice on choosing the best plants for a variety of locations. To help you get
started, there are sample plans for a woodland border and a garden designed to
attract birds and butterflies.

There’s no one more qualified to discuss superior native plants for Maine gardens
than Maureen Heffernan, executive director of the acclaimed Coastal Maine Botanical
Gardens, where native plants thrive in a variety of landscaped settings.
