Purchase a lagoon-friendly plant
How does this action
help our Lagoon?
Choosing lagoon-friendly plants allows your yard to coexist with nature, rather than compete with it. Non-native landscaping requires fertilizer and pesticide applications in addition to excess irrigation to survive. Nutrients from these applications make their way into the lagoon when rain and irrigation wash them into storm drains and groundwater, leading to algae blooms and other detrimental health effects. Lagoon-friendly plants actually restore balance and biodiversity by providing habitats for birds and pollinators. Further, native yards require much less maintenance—saving you time and money!
