Native-wise...
I prefer to use native plants in my garden and landscape designs.
I am not suggesting that I only recommend using native plants. I also enjoy using some non-invasive exotic plants. I would never recommend the use of an invasive plant such as Norway Maple or Multiflora Rose. These plants are so prolific that they out-compete native vegetation and eventually create a monoculture. This can have detrimental effects on the wildlife that are dependent on the native vegetation for survival.
"Natives plants" in this case are plants that are native to the area in which they are being used as opposed to "exotics" and "ornamentals" which have been introduced to the location.
