Wilding with Purpose: Wild Plants & Tame Gardens
So you brought home some native plants from a sale, but now what? Wilding with Purpose explores design techniques and tips that can be applied right at home to ensure your native-based garden is accepted by both wildlife and your neighborhood HOA. Through the lens of cultural expectations, this seminar will show you how you can use thoughtful design to show your neighbors the joys and value of native plants.
All are welcome at this free event.
