The N.C. House is considering an important native plants bill that would ensure native trees, shrubs, and flowers are used for landscaping on state property. Senate Bill 628, which passed the Senate last year, will help create more pollinator habitat and grow the market for native plants so that small business owners can plant and sell more of North Carolina's amazing flora.
