Online | For us and Them: How Edible Native Plants Can Feed Us and Wildlife Together
2022-03-23 18:00 - 20:00 | MA
Ask ten folks why they grow plants and you’re likely to get a variety of answers. The most common reasons are often aesthetic in nature–we like the look of a garden; it gives us a place to relax or play or drink wine with friends. However, simple beauty is not always enough, and in the modern era complicated issues such as sustainability and food stability are becoming more commonplace. Which plants will have the greatest ecological impacts? Which edibles are resistant to diseases and pests? What if you could have it all? A beautiful, edible landscape that also supports the local ecosystem.
Join Dan Jaffe Wilder, author and photographer of Native Plants for New England Gardens and Ecological Horticulturist at Norcross Wildlife Foundation, to learn how low-maintenance native plants can feed us and wildlife together.

Online: Going Native with Dan Jaffe Wilder
2022-03-15 08:30 - 11:30 | MA
The past decade has seen massive changes in the landscape industry. The days of landscapes dedicated to beauty alone are passing. Customers are demanding ecologically sensitive landscapes; they want reduced lawn, reduced maintenance, and greater wildlife value. In other words, they want native plants. But not all natives make good landscape choices; some are overly fussy about their habitat needs, while others will take over small spaces, and plenty more simply don’t resonate with all clients. Join Dan Jaffe Wilder, author, and the Director of Applied Ecology at Norcross Wildlife Foundation for a discussion about how to work native plants into any landscape. From tried-and-true species to solution plants for hard-to-fill spots we will discuss how to landscape with native plants successfully.
