Why do we plant perennials?

  1. Perennials extend your garden harvest
  2. Low-maintenance and energy saving
  3. Perennials help to build soil

 

How do perennials help to build soil?

  1. Perennials reduce or eliminate soil disturbance, resulting in greater soil life diversity
  2. Perennials plants keep living roots in the ground at all times meaning that they are feeding soil life all year round
  3. Perennials provide ground cover all year-round
