This class is for garden professionals who are looking to integrate native plants into their palettes. Native Plant Trust senior horticulturist David Falk will introduce participants to a variety of ecological planting concepts and to some native Northeast plants. Topics will include how to define “native,” basics about native plants’ benefits, selection of the right plants for the right place and purpose, resources and references for plant selection, and nitty-gritty topics such as lawn replacement and plants for typically difficult spots. Participants will see examples of successful native plantings and appealing species, and will leave the class with an arsenal of resources, references, and plant lists to get them started.

Elective Credit Hours: 2.5

A recording of this class will be available for 30 days after the class date.
