Native Alternatives to Overused Foundation Plants – 2024
March 1 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am EST
New Registration Procedure!
We have switched to a new registration procedure. You will register directly via Zoom and will receive the confirmation with the Zoom link right away.
Class Description
Many of the shrubs used in typical foundation plantings, such as euonymus, cherry laurel, and Asian azaleas, have been overused, and others, such as privet, nandina, and burning bush, are considered invasive in Northern Virginia. Join Extension Master Gardener Elaine Mills to learn how to broaden your plant choices from a palette of alternative native shrubs that can add beauty and diversity to the landscape while providing nectar, pollen, seeds, and fruit for local insects and birds.
Revised 2024.
After you register,
- You will receive an immediate email Zoom confirmation with the link to the class and some registration questions.
