With a little planning and careful plant selection, you can have a beautiful native plant landscape. A landscape that works in harmony with the environment and supports pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. This class is an overview of the planning, plant selection, and design principles to apply in creating your garden.

Topics we'll cover include:
- site assessment
- soil testing
- ecoregions vs hardiness zones
- resources for plant selection
- strategies for selecting keystone species to support pollinators, birds, bees, etc.
- garden design

Whether you’re considering starting a native plant garden, expanding an existing native plant garden, or nurturing and maintaining a native plant garden, our hope is that you discover something new in this class.
