Native plants have become staples of hardy, low-maintenance, and drought-tolerant flora. We all want a little zing—through foliage color, stem color, or overall size, and true native plants do not always provide that, but nativars do. We will define what a nativar is and how to utilize them in your garden to create a more resource-low garden. Then we will look at examples and discuss how to use both effectively to reduce our impact on the earth’s natural resources. The School’s CEUs=3 hours
