If an internet search doesn't bring anything up, try contacting your local conservation district or county folk. They should be able to point you in the right direction. Otherwise, you can just do research yourself - search 'native plants Walton County' and then arm yourself with a potential list to scour your local nurseries. I am finding more nurseries are adding in 'native' sections and/or are selling natives along with cultivated plants. I also am not opposed to what I refer to as 'near natives' - a cultivar of a native, often prettier and I assume the bugs/wildlife will benefit from them as well. Be sure to also provide water and suitable cover if you are wanting to encourage wildlife into your yard. You might also want to check our the Gardening for Wildlife forum for ideas. Best of luck, and welcome to NGA.
