LANDSCAPING FORTHE COAST
This brochure is for anyone interested in adopting nature-enhancing gardening or landscaping practices in coastal North Carolina. It features 34 plants that stand out as all-stars — they are native to the region, visually attractive and versatile. A companion booklet includes details on plant appeal and growing conditions to assist with selection.
These guides are produced by the Coastal Landscapes Initiative, or CLI, a collaborative effort to address landscaping at every stage of the process, from planning and design to installation and management. Partners come from the public and private sectors and draw on a range of N.C. coastal landscaping expertise. The ultimate goal is to foster coastal landscapes that are beautiful, functional, manageable and environmentally friendly.
