TUCSON, Ariz. — When talking about sustainability, we typically hear about solar power and water conservation. But there is an important element to complete the sustainable living package that we can find right here in our Sonoran Desert.
Dash says our native plants are better suited to stand up to the desert's harsh elements, use less water, and are better for our native wildlife. "So our whole goal is to have native plants be on our roadsides, and at our libraries, and in our public spaces where our wildlife can find them," Belk said."Little corridors where insects and animals can stop and get that nutrition or that shelter that they need," Belk said."Our main goal for our plants is that they go out and they are immediately usable by the wildlife.
You can check out up to 10 see packets a month. After they grow, you can collect the seeds and return them to the seed library. So weather you're adding some native plants to your garden, or planting seeds in a pot on your balcony, Dash said,"The best time to start gardening is right now."
