Wildlife Habitat Gardens
Baby birds need native insects from native plants, and butterfly larvae need native plants, too. With a Wildlife Habitat Garden you can have amazing natural beauty and be a wildlife steward at the same time. And you can certify your garden with the National Wildlife Federation and the PA Audubon Society. You'll get an official sign and can post pictures on their web site. Join the fun!

Native Exchange™
Native Exchange™ is an exclusive True Roots service. You get a 15% discount on native plants that replace invasive plants in your landscapes.

Many plants common in the ornamental landscape are exotic and have proven to be invasive, disrupting open natural areas. They can out-compete native plant communities, change soil chemistry, and generally do not provide food for wildlife. The negative impact is only beginning to be understood, but True Roots is offering one solution to it. See www.nativeexchange.com for a partial list of these plants, important information, and other ways to be part of the solution.

How it works: For example, if you have five Miscanthus sinensis (Chinese Silver Grass), True Roots will remove and dispose of them, and the plants that go in their place are discounted 15%. Due to the nature of plants, removal costs will vary. The 15% discount applies to the replacement plants only.

Perennial containers
You love containers... on your patio... at your front door... in the garden. But annual plants are costly to replace and take a lot of water. Perennial containers can be just as exciting, and save you money over time. True Roots uses Organic Mechanics for the potting mix, which is an all-natural, locally made product.

Stream bank restoration
If you have water flowing through your property, is it as healthy as it could be? Are you enjoying it as a feature of your landscape?
You can help the environment and your garden pleasure enormously by having your stream properly planted. True Roots can help by:
+ adding ornamental vegetation to a streamside
+ preventing erosion and undercutting
+ creating beautiful sitting and walking gardens by your stream
