Program Description

Event Details

There seems to be a misconception that native plants are not as showy as non-native plants in the flower garden. Not true! This Zoom lecture filled with beautiful slides will open your eyes to dazzling specimens that attract accolades as well as pollinators. The result: beautiful gardens that are beneficial for the planet! The presentation includes mail-order sources for natives (in addition to your local garden center!)
