Your Native Plant Garden, All Grown Up! 

Your Native Plant Garden, All Grown Up!  In-Person

Planning a new native landscape? What awaits your garden when it “grows up?” Community Naturalist Dave Sutherland has a 28-year old native wildlife garden that has changed over the years. Plants moved around as if with a mind of their own, got HUGE! - and laughingly wreaked havoc on the best-laid landscape plans. Learn about opportunities, challenges and surprises that you’ll face as your pollinator / habitat garden comes of age and asserts itself.  Bonus: get some free native plant seeds collected in Dave’s garden!
