Native plants can be used for beautification and require minimum
 establishment and maintenance. Some of the trees are American holly,
 cabbage palm, dahoon holly, live oak, loblolly bay, red maple, slash pine,
 and water oak. Some of the shrubs are American beautyberry, shining
 sumac, sawpalmetto, and waxmyrtle. Some of the herbaceous plants are
 aster, blackeyed Susan, cone flowers, dayflower, rosemallow, meadowbeauty,
 and sunflower.

 The most common urban wildlife is songbirds and squirrel. Undisturbed
 areas provide good escape cover and travel routes for deer, turkey,
 raccoon and similar forms of wildlife.
