Let’s Go Native! An Introduction for Home Gardeners

  • Bushnell-Sage Library 48 Main Street Sheffield, MA, 01257 United States (map)

Contribute to wildlife conservation while enhancing the beauty of your home gardens!

This program describes the role of native trees, shrubs, perennials and wildflowers in transforming home landscapes into useful and beautiful native habitats.

Let’s explore:

  • The value of native plants to wildlife

  • How to use their ornamental beauty in sun and shade, and in every season

  • The role of “nativars”, cultivars of native species, commonly sold in nurseries

  • How natives can help solve issues in shady woodland areas, stream beds and wet swales, or sunny dry slopes
