We’re going to take an empowering journey into the world of native gardening. We'll delve into the fascinating realm of indigenous plant species, conservation, and the art of cultivating sustainable landscapes.
Our panel of experts will offer beginner-friendly practical tips and gardening advice, and together, we'll explore how native gardening can transform any backyard (or front yard, or window box, or Juliette balcony, or fire escape!) into a thriving sanctuary for biodiversity. By restoring native plant communities and creating biodiverse habitats, native gardening can contribute to the restoration and healing of damaged ecosystems in areas affected by pollution or environmental injustices.
