Native plants in gardens in La Marina Alta: the smartest and most sustainable option

Are you thinking of renovating your garden in Dénia or anywhere else in La Marina Alta? One of the best decisions you can make is to choose native plants. At our gardening and landscaping company in Dénia, we are committed to sustainable, efficient design that is adapted to the Mediterranean environment. Here's why choosing local species is the best choice for your garden.

What are native plants?

Native plants are those that grow naturally in a specific region, in this case, in the area of Dénia, Jávea, Moraira or Benissa. They are perfectly adapted to the climate, soil type and water conditions of the Marina Alta.

Advantages of planting native species in your garden

Water savings. In an area with hot summers and low rainfall such as the Marina Alta, native plants require much less watering. This translates into significant water savings and a more sustainable garden.
Low maintenance. These species are accustomed to the environment, which means they need less care, fertilisers and plant protection products. Forget about checking on the condition of your plants every week.
Greater resistance to pests. Local plants have developed natural resistance to pests typical of the area, reducing the need for fumigation and chemical treatments.
Promotion of biodiversity. A garden with native flora attracts local fauna such as bees, butterflies and birds, helping to maintain ecological balance.
