If you have a cleared landscape or lawn along your salt water shoreline, you will be amazed at the new wildlife you can attract converting to a native plant landscape. This landscape plan features a variety of salt water tolerant native plants ranging from the dramatic seed heads of dune grass, to the blue-purple blooms of Douglas aster. Planting on marine shorelines may be regulated, so check with your local government for rules. In most cases, planting native plants by hand doesn't need a permit.
