Growing Native Plants Helps Butterflies & Bees & Creates a Bountiful Food Forest, Even in Sandy Soil
There are so many benefits to native plant gardening for the environment, wildlife, and people. Lisa Mazzuca is an Ocean County Master Naturalist at the New Jersey Shore, who has created a food forest by knowing which plants to choose, and how to care for them.
The magic starts with the soil, which in New Jersey’s coastal plain, is famously sandy. Mazzuca explains how to improve the soil, and lists numerous plants and trees that thrive in this environment.
She grows beach plums, blueberries, and large pawpaws, as well as milkweed plants and other flowers to attract pollinators. Mazzuca talks about gardening on her YouTube Channel, @MyNJGarden. She also is the owner of On Your Mark Designs that creates websites for businesses; spending time in her beautiful garden provides balance.
