Everyone is welcome in this beginner‑friendly session designed to help you confidently bring more native plants into your yard, no matter your experience level. Edith will break down the science behind why native species matter, clear up common myths, and—most importantly—show you exactly how to get started. Participants will learn how to supplement their existing landscapes with natives, how to plant successfully in any neighborhood context, and how to avoid common pitfalls. You’ll also leave with curated local resources, plant lists, and simple steps you can take today to begin creating thriving garden spaces.
