New! Contemporary garden designers worldwide are embracing American native plants as integral components of their landscapes. Renowned European designers such as Piet Oudolf, Nigel Dunnett, and James Hitchmough frequently incorporate a diverse array of species indigenous to North America, prompting the question: What do they see that we do not? Reexamine some of the best American native trees, shrubs, perennials, and spring ephemerals. Learn how to integrate these plants into gardens traditionally dominated by nonnative species, creating landscapes that are both beautiful and ecologically resilient. Class will include a walk through the Native Plant Garden. Dress for the weather.
