Native Plant Solutions

Virtual program with Shannon Currey, outreach educator at Izel Native Plants, in collaboration with Izel Native Plants.
Spend your lunch hour getting to know some of the best go-to plants for building ecologically sound landscapes. We'll take a deep dive into a handful of specific native plants, focusing on a landscape situation or plant adaptation that makes them particularly helpful. The November session focuses on deer-resistant perennials. From phytochemicals to structural adaptations, many plants have evolved strategies to minimize browsing. No plant is completely off limits with the hungry hordes, but there are species that rarely make the menu. Join us for a look at native perennials that will give you beauty and ecological benefits even if you're gardening in deer territory.
