Growing Great Native Plants in the Santa Fe Area

New Mexico has a wonderful selection of plants growing in wild areas that contribute to the region's beauty and resilience, provide food and nesting sites for wildlife, and provide host plants and nectar for pollinators.  Many of these plants can thrive in your garden, providing not just a lovely landscape for you, but also saving water and contributing to habitat in our urban and suburban areas.
