The event will host 16 native plant growers, a bevy of garden designers and companies devoted to maintaining native gardens. Benjamin Vogt, author of Prairie Up, along with 10 other speakers will give talks on subjects including “Turning a Lawn into a Native Plant Garden”, “Planting for Pollinators”, and “What is a Native Plant?".
. Native plants provide food and habitat to support pollinators, improve soil health, prevent erosion, reduce air pollution, provide many other ecological benefits, and they are BEAUTIFUL. The demand for native plants is growing at exponential rates and we look forward to making new connections.
