SUMMARY:Celebrate Earth Day by Learning about the Importance of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Curious about native plants? This “talk and walk” is a great opportunity to learn about the importance of native plants and what we do.\n\n\nEvery day\, more and more people are hearing about and gaining an interest in native plants. We are here to help both new and seasoned gardeners with their garden needs and provide the highest quality native plants to them\, as well as educating about the ecological value these plants provide. We understand there is a lot of information out there\, and getting started can be daunting. So\, what better day than Earth Day to celebrate native plants and talk about why they are important and why they make wonderful additions to your gardens and landscapes.  \nThis talk is geared towards “beginners” but everyone could learn something new! Our horticulturalist\, Brandon\, will walk around the nursery display gardens with you to talk about the value\, cultivation\, and nuances of native plants. Learn what actually classifies plants as “native”\, why birds and butterflies need native plants\, why biodiversity is important\, what threats do native plants face\, and how to get started planting native plants in your own gardens and landscapes. This will be an informal\, open discussion based talk\, so please bring your questions and feel free to actively engage.  \nThis talk is mostly geared for adults and interested teens\, but you are welcome to bring your children. We will be mostly walking around and stopping at various areas of the nursery\, but we can go at a pace comfortable for the group. Expect the talk to last between 60 and 90 minutes.  \nThis event is rain or shine\, so bring an umbrella and wear proper shoes for the weather. In the event of extreme or dangerous weather\, we will cancel and postpone the event.  \nThis event is FREE to attend but we ask you register so we have an idea of how many people will be attending. Please register each person in your group.
