Bringing Nature Home: Beyond Broad Lawns and Narrow Minds
Online/Virtual
Nature, including native plants, birds, insects and animals can exist nicely as an integral part of you home landscape. Whether your yard is small, standard, or an acre plus, turf grass need not be the main event but more properly relegated to the backdrop of the blazes of four-season color and durability of a bio diverse assembly of native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and prairie grasses.
Using traditional principles of landscape design Mr. Eubanks will present the basics on getting started with native plants around your home and garden. He will touch on themes you can develop such as rain gardens, butterfly gardens, shade gardens using the right plants and installation techniques. Maintenance requirements will be explained as well. Whether you are a novice gardener or master gardener, this presentation will have information useful for beginners while experts will still learn some new tricks.
