Come on a unique journey toward understanding native plants and how they can become a greater part of your home gardening experience. Horticulturalist Eric Wittman will lead visitors on a walk designed to help all gardeners improve their knowledge and use of native plants, from containers to large-scale plantings. Each walk will cover the aspects of where and how plants of the Delmarva can find a place in everyone’s gardening space.

Wittman’s green background started in the golf course industry through his installation of high-profile, deer-resistant plantings for several prominent courses on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. He served as director of horticulture for a highly regarded arboriculture firm in the Washington, DC, area before becoming co-owner of Terra Firma Plantcare, where he is responsible for ornamental IPM, invasive plant management, and specialty maintenance programs. He has spoken about native plants to Arboretum docents, Master Gardeners, national garden clubs, and government agencies.
