Do you dream of having a yard that is alive with…

beautiful butterflies fluttering from one flower to the next, songbirds singing or flying back to their nests with food for their babies, and a plethora of other animals living in the thriving ecosystem you’ve created?

Native plants are the key to making that dream come true.

• Maybe you know that, but you aren’t sure where to start – how do you even know what plants are native to your location?
• Or maybe you shy away from native plants because you live in a neighborhood where you can’t have your yard or gardens looking wild and crazy.
• Or maybe you just feel overwhelmed and discouraged because you can’t find any native plants at your local garden centers.

Confidently choose native plants that will work in your yard, look good, AND attract pollinators and wildlife.

During this live, interactive, online, 2-hour workshop, I’ll help you:

1. Build confidence so you feel more empowered in your ability to choose native plants that not only support local pollinators and wildlife, but also reflect your personal aesthetic preferences.
2. Save time, money, and effort by sharing expert guidance, tools, and resources, including my STAY with Native Plants™ framework, so you can select the right native plants for your yard without getting overwhelmed or wasting time and money on plants that don’t work for your location and goals.
3. Overcome common challenges by providing you with practical strategies so you can find local native plant nurseries and work with your unique (and sometimes difficult) site conditions.
