Want to turn your backyard into a bio-diverse refuge for the plants, birds, pollinators and animals that share our planet? Come and learn why native plants matter, and gain practical tips for incorporating them into your garden.
Join the RIHS and the Wild Plant Society for a talk on how to use native plants to create beautiful, well-balanced, and thriving landscapes through the seasons with Karen Asher. While New England has a large and diverse group of flowering plants, this presentation will focus on wildflowers through the seasons and for a variety of habitats and conditions, both sunny and shady areas, as well as moist or dry places. It features spring wildflowers such as Bloodroot, Trillium, and Lady’s slipper, and summer wildflowers like Butterflyweed, Turk’s Cap Lilies, and Cardinal Flowers. It concludes with fall-flowering plants such as Ironweed, Rose Mallow, and New England Aster. Discover some of the best local places to see native plants and the best books and websites on how to grow them.
