In many ways naturalized garden plantings resemble restoration plantings and, like <br /> restoration plantings, often contain a broad array of native species that help the plant com- <br /> munity withstand climatic changes, disease and insect infestations. <br /> Benefits: Less competition from weeds; greater species diversity; less maintenance needed. <br /> Limitations: Less sense of order. <br /> Maintenance requirement: Low <br /> r <br /> L - <br /> Before and After Pictures of a Great River Greening Planting a <br /> at a Disturbed Urban Site(top left and right)photo by Dan ShawqPF <br /> Naturalized Prairie Planting at the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge - g <br /> Visitor Center(bottom right)photo by Sara Morse <br /> Naturalized Prairie(bottom left) <br /> photo by Dan Shaw <br /> .w <br /> AL <br /> a � <br /> w <br /> 4 � a <br /> • <br /> .- L <br /> 40 <br />
