Join Trevor Smith for a talk on the why, what, and how of native planting in your gardens and lawn. Transitioning to native planting can lead to many benefits, such as: 

• Less maintenance and costs - Believe it or not, native trees, shrubs, and plants require little or no fertilizer, irrigation, and weeding, once established. 
• Reduced need for mowing your lawn. 
• Less water use - Many native alternatives have deep root systems which improve water efficiency through decreased need for irrigation. These conserve limited natural groundwater, especially in times of drought conditions. 

We will discuss different plant choices for your lawn and/or gardens that could turn your yard into a beautiful, sustainable, evolving habitat. Trevor will discuss why native landscaping is important to our community and environment.
