Why was Texas SmartScape developed?

SmartScape was developed to encourage new homeowners, before they finalize their landscaping plans, to plant native and adapted plants.  These plants typically require little or no pesticide or fertilizer to grow.  Also, these plants usually require less water to maintain.  It was also developed to provide information to those located in the North Texas areas with information about growing beautiful plants that require less pesticide, fertilizer and water while providing a beneficial ecological impact to native wildlife.
