Plants are great, but it's the people that make our garden special.
This summery stroll with Olbrich horticulturist Erin Presley highlights an array of garden-worthy Midwestern native perennials, trees and shrubs. We will check out native plants suitable for gardens of all sizes and a range of growing conditions. We will touch on design and maintenance tips for incorporating native plants, good sources for purchasing natives, benefits to wildlife, and considerations when including native plant cultivars. Prepare to be inspired by these notable natives!
