This session will explore the rising interest in using native plants. Participants will discover why native plants matter and how gardeners can integrate them into their own spaces. Workshop instructor Kate Garland, horticulturist from UMaine Extension, will discuss the concept of ‘native,’ explore valuable resources for selecting the right plants for a site, and lead a virtual walk through a curated collection of native species to consider for any landscape. Registered participants will receive a follow-up email with relevant resources and a small packet of native plant seeds. Kate Garland
