What are invasive plants? What are native plants? Why should we care? We were taught from childhood that the plantings in our yards are made mostly for beauty; they allow and encourage us to have fun, and to relax, and fit in with the neighbors. But our plantings are also important to the local environment in many ways. 

This workshop will begin with an overview of the importance of native plants and continue with an open discussion and Q&A about landscaping with nature in mind. You will leave with a better knowledge of which native plantings will look beautiful, do well in your yard, AND support our local ecosystem. This workshop will be led by Scott Quitel, founder of LandHealth Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring connections between people and nature in the city.

Join us weekly on Wednesday evenings for workshops that will inspire and enable a stronger connection of our homes and lifestyles to nature and community. From how-to workshops on topics of self-sufficiency and urban homesteading to discussions about gardening for biodiversity, Wednesday night programs will guide us in methods of creating more sustainable, connected, and personally satisfying ways of modern living.
