Inviting Natives Workshop

Explore a woodland garden while learning to identify a number of Piedmont native plants. We’ll also share resources for identifying and growing natives and for recognizing and controlling invasive exotic plants. Identifying and encouraging native plants in your garden or natural areas not only benefits wildlife, it also connects your garden to the surrounding natural community.
