Chapter Events

Take a journey through the seasons to discover a few native plants every gardener should try because they are great  for wildlife,  grow well in a range of conditions and look beautiful in most gardens, including small-medium landscapes. Plus they’re easy to find or purchase locally.  Also learn design tips for each, and receive a helpful handout summarizing this information.
