Other CLI offerings include a set of 10 landscaping design templates, as well as a handy booklet and brochure featuring 34 native plants that flourish along the N.C. coast. Those products are available in print as well as online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCLI members want to help people choose plants that are naturally adapted to thrive in the harsh conditions of the coast \u2014 the strong sun and wind, the dry, sandy soil, and the salty air and water,\u201d Putnam says. \u201cBy incorporating native plants into your landscaping, you can enhance local ecosystems while cutting maintenance costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture.png\" data-fullsize=\"3250x1794\" data-zoom=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3250\" height=\"1794\" src=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture.png\" alt=\"The CLI\u2019s Gloria Putnam says using native plants makes for eco-friendly landscaping.\" class=\"wp-image-15880\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture.png 3250w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture-768x424.png 768w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture-1536x848.png 1536w, https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/coastwatch\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2021\/11\/2-if-space-permits-CLI-video-capture-2048x1130.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>An overview of the Native Plant Pick series, plus the first six videos, are available on <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/user\/NCSeaGrant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s YouTube channel.&nbsp;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/program-areas\/healthy-ecosystems\/coastal-landscapes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>More coastal landscaping resources<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Native Plant Pick video team also includes horticulturist Rachel Veal of the N.C.
