Ground Covers

---

Ground cover is any plant that is “low-growing” and has the ability to cover soil. These types of plants have multiple benefits/uses. They can help control erosion, suppress the growth of weeds and keep moisture in the soil. Ground cover also aids in preventing snow drift and glare in the summer time.

If you are looking to fill in some empty areas in your garden, ground covers are perfect as they are low maintenance and can be used to transition different parts of your garden smoothly into the next, and can camouflage less pleasant areas and or structures. Many different types of plants can be used as ground covers.
