If you’d like to be added to a waitlist, please call (608) 262-2445. **The Arboretum's annual Native Gardening Conference promotes sustainable gardening practices and use of native plants in home landscapes for biodiversity, habitat, beauty, and sustainability. Expert-led workshops inspire and inform gardeners, homeowners, and landowners to create and maintain native gardens or small-scale restorations where they live. The program welcomes people with a range of gardening interests and experience levels.
The all-day event features expert-led workshops, lunch, a keynote speaker, tours of the Wisconsin Native Plant Garden, a resource packet, and ample time for questions and conversations. This year’s presentations cover topics such as: garden design, native trees and shrubs, gardening challenges and solutions, garden planting and management, nature journaling, native plant identification, and native bees. The keynote by Micah Kloppenburg, Arboretum restoration outreach coordinator, will explore native plant gardens as insect habitat.
