Here is a double dose of plant love we found featured in the Ashley Cooper Stormwater Education Consortium’s fantastic Ripple Effect newsletter…Carolina Yards Plant Database
Welcome to the Carolina Yards Plant Database which contains nearly 300 plants that are suited to growing in South Carolina. Plants were selected with the principles of environmental landscape design in mind. Remember, good landscape design hinges on choosing the right plant for the right place.
