Landscaping Recommendations

Native plants are hardy, require less irrigation and less weeding and will not cross pollinate with invasive non native species.

Use native plants in your garden and yard, and restrict more formal, exotic plants to your planters for best results.

Remember to choose plants that will not attract Banff's wildlife to your yard and are resistant to deer.

This list of recommended plant species will help you plan your next landscaping project.
