Instructor: Kathleen Connolly
FEE: $50.00 Non-Master Gardener

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: September 9, 2013
As home and community gardeners, we make planting choices all the time. Why should native plants be prominent among our selections? And what is a native plant? In this two-hour seminar, landscape designer Kathy Connolly will offer a definition of "native" and discuss the important role of native plants in supporting birds and pollinators. The seminar will cover approaches in a managed landscape, as well as resources for identifying and buying native trees, shrubs and perennials. Handouts will include several original plant and resource lists. Useful books will be available for purchase on the night of the seminar (cash or check).
