Native Plants for Professionals

This class is for garden professionals looking to integrate native plants into their palettes and will introduce participants to a variety of ecological planting concepts as well as to some native plants themselves. Topics will include how to define “native,” basics about native plants’ benefits, selection of the right plants for the right place and purpose, resources and references for plant selection, and nitty-gritty topics such as lawn replacement and plants for typically difficult spots. Participants will see plenty of examples of successful native plantings and appealing species, and will leave the class with an arsenal of resources, references, and plant lists to get them started.

Please note: We do not make video or audio recordings of classes or programs available after the fact, because we believe education is interactive, with instructors and students building a community and culture of learning. Some programs may be recorded strictly for instructor-training purposes.
