From groundcovers to spring flowers to summer whites and fall color, there are many delightful native plants for the woodland garden. This talk will focus on coastal plain woodland species but will include some easy-to-grow Piedmont woodland plants as well. Participants will come away with a great list of native plants suitable for woodland gardens. Registration required. Limit: 35.

This program is one of three in the Gardening in the Woods series led by ecologist Dr. Sylvan Kaufman. Learning about the ecology of forests provides deeper understanding of gardens that mimic the structure and function of the forest. This series is also suitable for homeowners on wooded lots who want to learn more about their forest. Other programs in the series are Forest Ecology for Gardeners on Thursday, September 29 and Describe Your Forest on Thursday, October 6.

Fee: $15 members, $20 general public per program; $35 members, $45 general public for all three programs in the series
