How do I choose the right plants for my yard?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Assess your yard's sun exposure, soil type, and drainage before selecting plants. Choose native South Jersey species that thrive in your specific conditions. Consider mature size to avoid overcrowding. Mix evergreens for year-round structure with perennials for seasonal color. Visit local nurseries for advice tailored to your microclimate.

Why It Matters

The right plant in the right place thrives with less water, fertilizer, and maintenance, saving you time and money.
