How can I grow salt-tolerant plants in my garden?

You can start by selecting species known for their salt tolerance, like saltbush or seaside goldenrod. What type of plants are you interested in?

I'm looking for flowers and shrubs that can handle salt.

Great choice! Consider planting beach strawberry or sea lavender for flowers, and for shrubs, try the tamarisk or bayberry.

What soil conditions do these plants need?

Salt-tolerant plants generally prefer well-drained soil. You might also want to amend your soil with organic matter to improve drainage.

How often should I water them?

Initially, water them regularly to establish roots, but once established, they require less frequent watering, especially in salty conditions.
