Native Plant Gardening: Gardening for Life

  • Thursday, September 18, 2025, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Join us for the first presentation in our Native Plant Gardening series. Caring for our yards is the most direct way we care for the earth. By planting native plants, we can provide habitat for even the smallest creatures, and by using earth-friendly landscaping practices, we can create a healthy yard for our family and a healthy planet for future generations. Just as important, we can reconnect with the natural world as we enjoy our own piece of the earth every day.

Instructor's bio: Janet is President and co-founder of the Habitat Gardening in Central New York Wild Ones chapter. She has written articles for the Wild Ones Journal and for other publications and has given presentations at garden clubs, conferences, and libraries. She is webmaster of Our Habitat Garden at www.ourhabitat.org.
