Half the battle against invasive species is to focus on what you want growing there. Not only do native plants benefit the local fauna, they create a beautiful landscape!
Once established, native plants are easy to maintain because they are adapted to Montana's temperatures, rainfall patterns, and soil conditions.

Native Plants
-
Resist local pests and disease.
-
Reduce soil erosion, build soil structure, and absorb rainfall.
-
Require less water, and no fertilizer.
-
Are preferred by native birds, wildlife and pollinators for food and shelter.
The mark of a healthy landscape is species diversity: grasses, forbs, shrubs, and trees.
