Calling all designers, landscape architects, and installers!
Darryl Newman from Planters’ Choice will discuss plants that might have merit in the landscape but are frequently used incorrectly or are not ideal in a constantly changing climate. More sustainable choices, which include many natives/nativars, will be offered. All require less inputs regardless of their origins. Tips on how to maintain both the overused plants and their alternatives will be discussed to help attendees realize better success in their cultivated landscapes.
