WLAC Summer Speaker Series: Choosing Native Plants for Your Garden

Join Monica Gruler of Gruler Gardens for a presentation on incorporating native plant species around your property.

Are you curious about native plants but don’t know how to use them in your garden? If so, this presentation is for you! Fall is a perfect time to get your plants in the ground, as they’ll have plenty of time to establish deep, healthy roots from fall through winter. Then, when spring arrives, much of your work will have been done, and you can enjoy your new plants as they emerge from the soil when the temperature rises.

In this presentation we’ll talk about:

• What native plants are and why they are important
• How native plants can make gardening easier with lower maintenance than lawns and ornamental plants
• How native plants bring both beauty and ecological function to your garden
• Which native plants work well in home gardens

You’ll come away inspired and eager to get started with native plants in your garden this fall!
