Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Native plants are healthier and stronger. Native plants have evolved over thousands of years, learning to thrive in particular areas-they grow in harmony with the environment, the soil, the water supply, the varying weather throughout all the seasons, and other native companions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Native plants are those that occur naturally in a region in which they evolved. They are the ecological basis upon which life depends, including birds and people. Without them and the insects that co-evolved with them, local birds cannot survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Native plants can significantly reduce water runoff and, consequently, flooding. Native plants help you keep the air around you cleaner. Natural landscapes do not require mowing or very much maintenance. Lawns, however, must be mowed regularly.
