How to Maintain Your Native Plant Garden


Adult Enrichment / Home & Garden -
Spring 2025

Your native plant garden has grown and evolved—perhaps in unexpected ways. Some plants have spread, others feel overcrowded, and a few struggle in summer heat while others thrive. Birds, squirrels, and the wind have introduced new plants, and shifting climate conditions may be reshaping your landscape. Explore strategies to manage these changes in a way that suits your site conditions and personal preferences. There will be time for questions and discussion.
