The Basics of Native Plant Gardening: Going Beyond Pollinator-Friendly. Presented by Terry Serres Gardening with native plants isn't any more difficult than "conventional" gardening, and it is so rewarding - to yourself, your community, and the environment.

We'll see photographs of native plant gardens that will inspire you, and we'll provide resources for expertise and materials.
