If you’re lucky enough to live on a tree-lined street or have a backyard sheltered by the forest canopy, finding native plants for your garden can be such a struggle. Traditional shade gardens tend to rely on exotic—and even invasive—species, and native shade plants are still so hard to find.That’s where this class comes in! Join us to learn about the plants that are native to our region and have evolved to thrive in shady conditions. These plants provide benefits to local wildlife and create beauty in your garden all year. Class will include a guided tour of the Hauck Botanic Garden to see some of these amazing plants growing in the landscape.
