In this presentation\, learn how to garden with an ecological focus by utilizing design principles of native gardening\, minimizing lawn\, choosing and arranging native plants in their natural associations and according to site conditions\, and using humane practices. Discover\, through stunning photographs\, some of the wildlife—from little-known pollinators to beautiful birds—that native designs support. Look at your landscape with fresh eyes and create a place that is vibrant\, functional\, and beautiful.\n\n\n\nClick here to learn more and register:\n\nhttps://www.mgfsjc.org/gardenworkshop2025.html
