The Cultivar Conundrum (Online)
March 22 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
$25
Dig deeper into the business of cultivars. The concept of a native plant seems simple, until you start hearing about cultivars, nativars, selections, ecotypes, and hybrids. In this class we’ll dig into what all those terms mean, where named plant selections come from, and how they impact the ecosystem that is your garden.
This program takes place online on Saturday, March 22, 2025.
