Description

Native plants can help us turn our gardens into beautiful, ecologically functioning plant communities. Join Angela Bowman of Bowman Gardens for an introduction to the topic, where we’ll discuss the benefits of gardening with native plants as well as • a list of prairie and woodland plants that grow well in urban sites • how to combine plants for beauty, continuous blooming, and ecological function • site preparation, planting, and stewardship Angela Bowman https://www.bowman-gardens.com/about generates green spaces that not only look beautiful but also provide sanctuary and bring us closer to nature. By designing and planting with ecological processes in mind, we can unleash the power of gardens to restore lost animal habitat, manage stormwater, regenerate damaged soil, and improve climate resilience. Bowman Gardens https://www.bowman-gardens.com offers design, installation, project management, and stewardship services as well as garden coaching and consulting.
