Native Plants for Small Gardens

 Join us as Heather Prince provides a curated list of native plants that can enliven a garden--including natives that won't grow "out of bounds" in a smaller space. Heather will present information about plants for all types of sites--from shady to sunny and from wet to dry. We will get ideas about how to layer in native plants that attract pollinators and birds, as well as providing many seasons of color and pleasure.
