Many of the plants in the OBIC gardens are native to the Piedmont area of the Chesapeake Bay and were chosen because they evolved in this environment and grow well here without much care.  And, because these plants are native to and grown in Maryland, they are also hardier than those of the same species from, say, Pennsylvania or North Carolina. Aside from ease of care and hardiness, however, they were planted here in our overall effort to preserve our Maryland native plants.
