Good Groundcovers
Nowhere on earth does shredded wood fall from the sky, but in every ecosystem, nature fills the voids. Never pitch another fork of mulch again—plant these low-growing natives that spread, suppress weeds, and act as Living Mulch. Regulate soil temperature, improve water infiltration, and build soil health with these Good Groundcovers. KILL YOUR LAWN! PLANT NATIVE PLANTS!
