Plantology on Tap: The Beauty and Benefits of Native Species

Join us on Pennsylvania Native Species Day for a celebration of all things native species!

Longwood Gardens’ Associate Director of Land Stewardship and Ecology Lea Johnson, Ph.D. leads a fascinating discussion on what makes a species native versus non-native versus invasive, why we might prefer native species, and how native species improve so many things about our yards and gardens, from wildlife habitat to water management to beauty throughout the seasons. Leave with top tips for adding native species to your garden, along with a young plant of your own to start your native garden.

As always, enjoy a delicious small bite and signature cocktail to round out the fun.

All proceeds from this collaboration between Longwood Gardens and the Creamery of Kennett Square are used to promote family-friendly community outreach programming; we thank you for your continuous support!
