It\\u2019s probably the question I am asked most: Gardeners want to go wilder and use more native plants to create habitat. But how do they figure out which plants, since it\\u2019s not one size fits all regions, or even different locations within a region...and choosing as we mostly do by hardiness zone isn\\u2019t going to get the ecological job done. Help!
