I'm a firm believer in using plants native to one's own area in the
       garden. I've always thought it shameful when a gardener knows more
       about exotic plants than the plants growing naturally in their own
       region. To me, a garden should serve as a link to the natural world
       around you just as much as it should be a means of growing food or
       improving the appearance of your property.
