Come on a unique journal 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 about the Arboretum for gardeners to identify ornamental native plants for gardening.

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.
