Beginning Native Perennials
FOR THE HOME GARDEN

Learn the basics of how to use native perennial plants in your home garden! Join instructor Kaity Bevenour, native plant specialist & owner of Parallel Nursery, for an introduction to the ornamental & environmental benefits of commonly available native Virginia flowers, grasses, and sedges. At the end of the class students will be able to select x6 native plants to take home in a Parallel Nursery Mix & Match 6 Pack. Students will learn in-depth about a variety of native perennial species suitable for garden use. We will discuss which plant characteristics are essential for wildlife support, including the pros and cons of using wild “straight” species compared with cultivated varieties. At the conclusion of the lecture portion, we will take a journey to the Morton Native Garden to view some examples of native perennials in a garden setting.
