Welcome
Landscaping with native plants improves the health of the planet on many levels. We steward the land rather than dominate it; we collaborate with nature rather than try to control it; we discover enlightenment rather than conform to artificial standards. To successfully model Pennsylvania's complex and diverse ecology, detailed information is useful. Perhaps we can help.
