Okay, folks, let's talk natives! Ken Lain the Mountain Gardener here, and I know many of you are curious about creating a truly Arizona landscape. So, what exactly is a native plant? It's one that naturally grows right here, in our unique climate. Think Arizona Cypress, the sturdy windbreak, or the elegant Silverberry, a low-care evergreen.

Folks often seek natives for their low maintenance and water-wise nature – perfect for our RV adventures! Plus, many, like Silverberry and Manzanita, are naturally resistant to deer and Javelina. While some natives might not be showy at first glance, their long-term beauty and adaptability shine through.

At Watters, we're making it easier to find the right natives for your yard, grouping them by low-care, animal resistance, and size. Let's create a landscape that thrives naturally!
