Native Plant Gardening
Date and time
Join Thames Talbot Land Trust as they teach you the foundations of gardening with native plants species!
About this event
Native plant gardening is becoming more and more popular as we realize the benefits of planting the species that naturally grow around us. But it can be challenging to know where to start. This gardening workshop is designed to help you introduce and enhance native plants to your garden. It will answer questions such as: What are native plants and why should you choose them for your garden? We’ll introduce you to some great plant choices for sun and shade, wet and dry areas, and pollinator favourites, as well as tips for establishing and caring for your native plant garden.
After a presentation, there will be time to network with a series of native plant gardeners to assist you with specific questions about your garden. Come with questions about specific plants or design plans for your own garden.
Proof of vaccination is required.
Thames Talbot Land Trust will continue to require proof of vaccination and wearing masks during this event. This is for the continued protection against COVID-19 and the comfort of our participants during an indoor event.
