The Surfrider Foundation has recently changed the #OceanFriendlyGarden criteria to require a minimum of 50% native plants. Native plants provide a wide range of environmental benefits to support wildlife, biodiversity, clean water and the health of our local ecosystems and communities. Not to mention, they are quite beautiful too! Visit the link in bio to learn more about the many benefits of native plants, and to get involved with an Ocean Friendly Garden program near you.
