Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Most of my experience is in temperate climates in Northern/Western Europe (for specific plant species info), but I'm happy to help answer management questions in general.

I'm also happy to help put together resources for the community if there's any plans for that.

Have any tips for dealing with aggressive/invasive species in a lawn environment? There are so many weeds in my yard, but I don't want to kill the clover!

Do you know what species you're dealing with? If you're not sure you can upload a few photos. Advice will depend on this.

Normally, aggressive species thrive in an environment with excess nutrients or lots of disturbance. Can you explain your current management/cutting regime? Do you remove the grass clippings after you mow?
