Fall is beautiful here in Central Florida, it’s a great time to make your yard beautiful. Aside from applying a fresh layer of mulch, many homeowners are building patios, planting trees, and plants. 

Unfortunately, many people are adding landscape plants that are not native to Central Florida. 

Why is it important to plant the right plants? According to Florida Friendly Landscaping: 

So, how do plant selection and landscape design con- tribute to saving water and preventing pollution? The first Florida-Friendly Landscaping principle—“Right Plant, Right Place”—involves designing a landscape efficiently and choosing plants that fit the site. This helps reduce maintenance inputs, including irrigation, fertilization, mowing, and application of pesticides, which in turn lowers the risk of pollutants finding their way into ground or surface waters.

Keeping excess nitrogen and phosphorous out of the water improves the health of water bodies and by extension the whole ecosystem. This guide will help you to create a landscape that works with the natural environment, rather than against it. Such a landscape, if maintained correctly, will require less money, time, and effort on your part, while still looking healthy and beautiful.
