Carl & Audrey Lavin Speaker Series: Celebrating Native Plant Month

Selecting Native Plants for Our Landscapes

Understanding the natural condition of our landscape is the most important consideration for success as we reintroduce native plants into our garden designs. Selecting the right plant for the existing conditions makes establishment easier and will have a better outcome. We will discuss plant selection based on soil disturbance and type, weed competition and growing and maintenance requirements.
