You will observe the various growing conditions that may mirror what you have in your home gardens: wet areas, ledge outcroppings, shade, full sun, and more.
There are native plants that will grow in all of these conditions, without any fertilizer or, once they are established, any need to water!
Observe plants in various stages of bloom, timed to satisfy the needs of native bees, butterflies, birds, and moths. Imagine creating an area in your yard to grow some of these native beauties!
Resources will be provided to broaden your existing home ecosystem. Dress for the weather and boots are a must!
