A diversity of plants strengthens and enriches our gardens providing us an insurance policy against all the variables that nature can throw at us now and into the future. In addition, learning a broader palette of plants gives us more tools for planting difficult and/or niche sites. Diverse landscapes are balanced ecosystems that create
more and better habitat for wildlife, even in urban situations.
This presentation will featre a wide range of plant ideas and provide many suggestions on how to add more diversity, and therefore more beauty and balance, to your landscape.
