Lose the Lilacs! Plant These Beautiful Native Shrubs Instead
In many ways, woody shrubs are the backbone of the home garden. They don’t require as much room as trees or as much maintenance as flower beds, and they provide a year-round structure to your garden design. This class will provide a detailed look at different native shrubs that provide a variety of ecological and aesthetic benefits, including flowers, colorful foliage, edible fruit, and wildlife habitat, for a wide range of landscaping situations.
