SUMMARY:Native Planting 101
DESCRIPTION:Join us this March for this FREE virtual workshop via Zoom.\nLocal experts will discuss how to incorporate native plants into your landscape (if that means a small in-town patio, or an expansive rural homestead). Using native plants can reduce water use and improve water quality, create habitat for pollinators and other wildlife, provide color and contrast throughout the year and be used to reduce wildfire risks.\nRegister here for 2026! ( https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/019a792ea4e370fbb3d410f7f2f45cc2 )\n\nMarch 4- Mel Asher- • Monthly Activities for a Vibrant Native Plant Landscape :Tips, Tasks, and Inspiration for Every Season \nMel will provide a set of recommended tips and tasks for each season of the year. She will help participants create a calendar-based “to do list” for establishing and maintaining native plants in a home landscape.\n\n\nMarch 11- Michael Trier- The Little Things that Run the World: How Your Yard Can Support Pollinators and Other InsectsNative plants are the foundation of our ecosystems that provide the essential food and habitat required by native insects and other wildlife. With insects declining rapidly, one of the best ways to support them is by incorporating native plants into your landscaping. Michael will discuss how to create pollinator habitat in your yard, focusing on topics including plant selection, keystone species, creating nesting sites, garden cleanup, and many others.\n\nMarch 18- Alex Harwell- Enhancing our Lives and Landscape by Cultivating Native Plants for Personal UseAlex will describe how including the plants in a home landscape can enhance the landscape, and our lives. Using 10 native plants as examples, she will describe how to care for them and how to use them for culinary, medicinal or craft purposes.\n\nMarch 25- Betsy Dudash- From Dead Zone to Healthy Habitat: Options for Replacing Your Existing LawnBetsy describe how to use native plants to create an ecologically-friendly home landscape. She will provide advice for removing your traditional turfgrass lawn, and how to prepare the soil, and seed or plant native plants as alternatives. She’ll present options for using drought-tolerant native grasses to create an eco-lawn with low-growing native annuals and perennials and planting a wildflower meadow. She’ll describe how to use paths for movement through, and enjoyment of, your new space and how to maintain your new wildlife habitat.\n\n
