When you garden with native plants, natural landscapes, and healthy gardening practices, you use less water and fewer chemicals, reducing runoff and pollution. This class will help you to make informed choices about what you plant, where best to plant it and how to care for it. Native plants attract birds and butterflies and require less time and energy for their care. You’ll receive a free workbook and native plant to take home. Rain or shine, we’ll be going outside to study plants in the garden.
