Selecting Native Plants for the Home Garden
January 12, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am EST
In this introductory overview of native plants, Extension Master Gardener Elaine Mills introduces species for the Mid-Atlantic region (from trees to ground covers) that attract and support our local pollinators, butterflies, moths, and birds. She explains how to choose beautiful native plants appropriate for the conditions of your yard, describing their use in layered forest settings; in lawns, hedgerows, and foundations; and garden beds for wildlife. She also discusses how “straight species” of native plants differ from cultivars and provides you with tips and best practices for planting and seasonal management
