Maintaining Curb Appeal: Many people understand that we will not save biodiversity if we do not increase the amount of native plants in suburban landscapes, but they do not know how to create socially acceptable landscapes using native plants. Among their concerns are that natives are more prone to being defoliated, that a landscape dominated by natives is messy and wild, that dense plantings cannot be attractive, and that formal gardens cannot be designed with natives. Using data and illustrative designs, Tallamy will dispel these misconceptions and suggest ways to make your property a showpiece without losing its ecological function in the local ecosystem.
