Know To Grow: Looking at Non-Native Plants with Fresh Eyes

A fresh look at the ecological and horticultural roles of non-native plants!

Have you ever gotten into a discussion about the “goodness” or “badness” of a non-native plant? How about a lecture on why native-only landscapes are the only correct direction for horticulture to go?

Join horticulturist David McKinney for a thoughtful discussion on the value and complexity of non-native plants in our landscapes. While native plants are essential to ecosystem health, many non-native species also provide important benefits including supporting pollinators and offering habitat for wildlife.
