Beginning Native Perennials for Gardeners

Description

Thursday, October 3, 2024 | 10am-12pm

Native perennial plants play a critical role in Virginia's ecosystem. Are you interested in learning how to incorporate more natives into your home garden? Join instructor Kaity Bevenour, native plant specialist & owner of Parallel Nursery, for an introduction to the ornamental & environmental benefits of commonly available native Virginia flowers, grasses, and sedges. Learn about a variety of native perennial species suitable for garden use, including their different ecological roles and the design elements they fulfill. Discover which plant characteristics are essential for wildlife support, including the pros and cons of using wild, or “straight”, species versus cultivated varieties. Armed with our new knowledge, we'll head over to the Morton Native Garden to view some examples of native perennials in a garden setting. At the end of class, you'll select six native plants to take home in a Parallel Nursery Mix and Match Pack!
