Landscaping with Native Plants<\/h2>\n

To promote the use of native plants in gardens and landscapes, TN-IPC developed a set of three brochures in the 1990s, each designed specifically for East, Middle, and West Tennessee. These popular brochures were recently revised and consolidated into a single statewide document for easier use and wider application. The new version retains most of the original informative features including physiographic province details and comprehensive plant listings with culture specifications for woody species plus a greatly expanded selection of garden-worthy herbaceous perennials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
