don’t create a dead zone

Don’t Create a Dead Zone Landscape with native plants and trees! • Plants are the foundation of your urban ecosystem! • Feeds birds, our endangered bees and butterflies • Cleaner water & air, and a natural cooling effect • Absorbs greenhouse gas which causes climate change • Restores your watershed to what naturally grows in the region • Low water use, and may use none once established • Low maintenance/easy care, using select plants • Looks great. Some irrigation in summer may be needed to keep it fully green and flowering • Keep your river (drinking water) clean. Landscape is a biofilter • Living gardens remove pollutants and reduces nutrient load • Keeps your house and outdoors cooler due to low radiant heat, shade, and evaporative cooling • Retains water and provides oxygen A natural landscape often has 10-30 birds foraging! Don’t like gardening? A well-designed native landscape only needs maintenance a few times per year Benefits of a living native plant landscape: Don’t cover your garden with plastic lawn! Make it a living zone with plants for birds, bees, and butterflies Gardening is soothing for the soul. Ask any gardener! Not an advertisement for any product Information to keep your outdoors real and protect your watershed.
