Native plants are plants indigenous to a given area in geologic time. This includes plants that have developed, occur naturally, or existed for many years in an area (trees, flowers, grasses, and other plants).
Some native plants have adapted to very limited, unusual environments or very harsh climates or exceptional soil conditions. Although some types of plants for these reasons exist only within a very limited range (endemism), others can live in diverse areas or by adaptation to different surroundings. Research has found that insects depend on native plants.
An alternative but potentially conflicting usage is to describe plants (and animals) that are indigenous to a geographical area, even if they are known to have self-introduced in historical times such as the silvereye (Zosterops lateralis) of New Zealand, which was first recorded in the 19th century.
An ecosystem consists of interactions of plants, animals, and microorganisms with their physical (such as soil conditions and processes) and climatic conditions.

New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

Join Kim Eierman of EcoBeneficial! for an interview with Annie White about her research on the attractiveness of native plant cultivars versus straight species native plants. Annie is a Ph.D student at the University of Vermont in the Department of Plant and Soil Science.
The northeastern U.S. hosts a rich diversity of native plants, many of which play essential roles for humans and the environment. Alarmingly, a significant number of these species are experiencing a precipitous decline. Many are imperiled as a result, including one-quarter of species native to New York State. Despite these figures, no comprehensive or integrated program exists to study trends across the region. Through a series of compelling presentations, followed by a panel discussion, this Summit will address the gaps in our knowledge by bringing together experts to present and discuss the state of the area’s plant species, plot the best course forward, and highlight ways in which everyone can make a difference for native plants in the Northeast. 06:25 – Robert Naczi 38:44 – Bernd B...

Webinar Presented as part of ELA "A Focus on Sustainability" series on October 23, 2014. www.ecolandscaping.org Edible Natives List: http://www.ecolandscaping.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Edible-Native-Plants-of-Mass.-Northeast-U.S.-and-E.-Canada-March-18-2013.pdf There’s an increasing inclination to utilize more native species in home landscaping and in parks and other conserved landscapes, thanks to books like Doug Tallamy’s Bringing Nature Home, which extol the virtues of native plants over exotic ornamentals for attracting and sustaining beneficial insects. Yet, for some property owners/managers, this alone may be insufficient motivation to “go native”. Perhaps knowing that many native species are edible by people too will provide an additional incentive to plant native species. ...
How many of your garden plants are natives? For a lot of growers natural plantings are an increasing priority in the garden. We’ll look at some good choices for our region and tour a Cloquet garden where hordes of the wild things grow.
John from http://www.growingyourgreens.com/ visits his friends place in South Florida who is feeding the world with edible landscaping and native plants one property at a time. In this episode, John visits the home of Susan Lerner who is growing food not only for her, but also the many creatures of the world on her residential property. You will also discover how Susan is building soil by using wood chips to add organic matter to her property and feed the world of microbes as well. In this episode, John will give you a tour of the edible landscaping (in the form of fruit trees) as well as some native edible plants that Susan grows for her own use. John will also touch on how important it is to plant native crops that have been removed due to development. You will discover many edibl...

Prairie Plants for Pollinator Gardens (*The program is about 125 minutes. The very last part was not able to be taped, but worth a viewing) Neil Diboll, a consulting ecologist and landscape designer, presented Prairie Plants for Pollinator Gardens at the Aldo Leopold Audubon Society’s program on Wednesday, October 19 at 7:00 p.m. at the Lincoln Center, 1519 Water Street in Stevens Point. The importance of pollinators to human well-being is of increasing concern, as we see population decreases in these critical components of our ecosystems and food production systems. Approximately one-third of all the food we consume depends upon the work of pollinators to produce fruits, nuts, and seeds. Without pollinators, the food web would grind to a disastrous halt. However, gardeners can plant ...
a talk about putting California naive plants in parking strips and side yards.
i love u most when we share a place
those special good times together
it seems like our love cant get much better, no
''cause we were as close as two could be
we knew love would last forever
we're more than just lovers, we're
good friends
And even if our love
Could drift away
I wouldn't even think twice
If I wanted love back again
Chorus 1
Because I'd still say yes to you again
My darling for you I'd do it all again
Yes I'd still say yes to you again
Darling for you I'd do it over and over again
To you ya know I'll say yes
Oh my darling, oh my darling only for you
verse 2
Where does it go, how does it end
True love it seems so easy
''cause we have no doubts
where we belong, where we belong
They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we began
Chorus 2
Because I'd still say yes to you again
My Darling for you I'd do it all again
Yes i'd still say yes to you again
Darling for you i'd do it over and over again
Bridge:
They say time can heal a broken heart
And true love never ends
So why not start where we began, baby
