Adding Native Plants to Garden Designs

Whether you are renovating an existing landscape or designing a new one, adding and using natives can create more vital ecosystems, one plant at a time. Discover effective design elements, thoughtful plant choices, and local sources of native plants. You will learn about creating “soft landings” under trees, establishing an oasis for pollinators, and putting together containers that attract pollinators. A Garden walk is included. Dress for the weather. Prerequisites: Botany 1 and one Ornamental Plant Materials core course.
