About the event
As individual specimens, native plants provide much beauty and many ecological benefits, but in luscious combinations, they can take your garden to new levels. In this illustrated talk, Lorraine Johnson shows how you can mix and match tried-and-true performers that flourish together, focusing on flowers, foliage, shape, color, texture and garden design.
There will be time for questions following the presentation. At the presenter’s request, this presentation will not be recorded. All registrants must attend live.
