Starting Your Native Plant Garden
Creating a low-maintenance wildlife garden from A-Z.
Are you lost on how to start a native plant garden? What online and book resources can you trust? How do you find the plants, grow the plants -- and then how do you design a sustainable, low-maintenance landscape? Award-winning author, speaker, and garden designer Benjamin Vogt helps newbies and advanced gardeners alike navigate building or remodeling a native plant garden.
This 65 minute self-paced class is one you can return to time and again. Benjamin's voiced-over video presentation, filled with dozens of images, guides you from initial research then ultimately takes you through the design process of a small garden bed that wildlife and neighbors will adore.
