Puxatawney Phil might have predicted 6 more weeks of winter, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t dreaming of getting out into our yards and spiffing things up once spring arrives.  Here in Eastern NC, we might be tempted to plant some things that don’t really belong…even if they’re pretty.

While planning, please keep in mind that native plants are the healthiest choices to attract pollinators and to maintain habitats for local wildlife.

This helpful guide from the NC Native Plant Council will help you avoid some common invasives!

Good luck and have fun!
