April is Ohio Native Plant Month, a time to recognize the plants that do more than beautify our landscapes. Native plants help manage stormwater, reduce erosion, and support healthy drainage systems throughout our communities. Small changes in landscaping can make a big impact. #OhioNativePlantMonth
