I have been working toward a permaculture garden and landscaping with native species. Mostly consisting of small slow changes to increase insect habitats and food sources for local fauna. A local nature conservation program nearby sells permaculture plant sets to encourage the use of non-invasive species. I think the idea is gaining awareness.

I agree with this post except for the succulent bit. Cheap LED lights can provide enough light to grow and prop succulents. They are hardy and withstand a fair amount of neglect. I live in zone 4-5. I setup my succulent collection in the garage over winter with 12/12 light. It was cold enough some froze completely and had bits die off. If the picture posts you can see they survived all that torture.
