Native Plants
OVERVIEW
At EcoLogic Horticulture we believe one of the most meaningful things we can do is to produce healthy native plants, whether they are being used on a green roof or in a reclamation setting we know they will play an important role in restoring ecological balance in on our environment.

Once established native plants will produce viable seeds and those seeds will form the seedbank of the future.  These plants are adapted to grow in our climate and provide an important food source for insects and wildlife. Where possible we strive to grow native plants sourced from locally collected seed. We have an inventory of grasses, forbs and shrubs available during the season, and can also custom produce native plants specifically for your project. 
WHY NATIVE PLANTS
ECOSYSTEM Support
• Native plants provide a wide range of Ecosystem Services
• Supporting native pollinators and wildlife
REDUCED Maintenance
• Reduced mowing and weed control
• Drought resistant and resilient
NATURALLY Beautiful
• Thousands of native species to choose from
• Many are beautiful and have merit for landscaping
CARBON Sequestration
• Native plants have deep and complex root systems
• Native grasslands sequester carbon more effectively than trees
‍
Formats
Root health and ease of use are important to us so we offer many innovative potting technologies to  ensure you get the best possible establishment.

Air Prune pots encourage the development of dense root systems that are less likely to spiral.

Root training pots & trays encourage roots to grow downwards instead of in a spiral.

Thousands of Years in the Making: Growing in Alberta

Native Species for Shelterbelts

Native plant species have evolved for life on the prairies and will provide a low maintenance, non-invasive community of plants for your shelter belt. Not only can a shelter belt benefit your agricultural land, but they also provide added support for wildlife and improve the viability for grassland species at risk.

Drought Tolerance is an Adaptation for our Ecoregion

Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia cover a massive and diverse geographic area with many ecoregions and subregions, sometimes called ecodistricts. These areas undergo unimaginable changes on both yearly and multidecade timescales.
