Wild and Neat
So you think natives are weedy and messy? This lecture by Claudia West debunks this myth and explores the aesthetic value of native plants and their highly attractive cultivars. You’ll be fascinated by the range of colors and textures found in the region’s native flora. Numerous design examples and plant combinations demonstrate the beauty, elegance, and diversity created through a sense of place, using regionally appropriate native plants in the landscape. Enjoy and be inspired!
