PLAN IT NATIVE LANDSCAPES CONFERENCE

We are offering two full days to learn about native plants, designing and managing native plant gardens, and the flora/fauna connections we all appreciate.

Session topics include:

• Planting and maintaining green infrastructure projects,

• Woody plants and pollinators,
• Shrubs and Small Trees in Landscape Design and Ecosystem Function
• Native Plant Solutions: Perennials for Shade,
