Ecological Design with Native Plants
Celebrate and explore the beauty and complexity of our local floristic heritage. This two-day workshop will examine the current popularity of landscaping with native plants from an ecological perspective. Lecture and field components will illustrate what makes a plant native, and where and how to use them.
