A brief description of the native plant program, policy, or practice:
It is practice when determining plant material for projects first to determine the site requirements of the area, including but not limited to sun exposure, drainage, soil type, height requirements, maintenance requirements, safety needs, etc. After determining these needs, plant material is chosen with 3 different categories of material: native, human edible qualities, non-invasive exotic. The goal of every project is minimum 30% native material used for shrub beds, and 75% for trees. The ultimate goal of every project is a low maintenance, properly sited, and well balanced landscape.
