Why Native Plants?

Jun 5| 1 - 3 pm | In-person Tallent Hall, Room 182 or Online by Zoom
Register by May 31

ALL Immediate Past President, Karen Kempinen, leads this class about native plants and how they support our ecosystem. Today's environmental challenges are so enormous that it is easy to feel helpless, as if one person can't make a difference - despite talk that suggests you can. In this case, however, you can make a difference. By choosing ecologically-effective plants for your landscape, by shrinking your lawn, and by removing your invasive ornamentals, all actions a single person can take, you will be able to make a difference that you can see, and enjoy, almost immediately. Life will return to your property!
