Loosen Up Your Landscape: Melding the Wild and the Tamed with Native Plants    with Christine FroehlichMany aspire to incorporate more native plants and cultivate naturalistic landscapes, but aren’t sure how to integrate them into existing or new designs. What do you plant to attract pollinators? How can you manage invasive plants and strike the right balance between cultivated and uncultivated areas without them looking unkempt? With the right plant choices, careful planning, and thoughtful management, native plants can seamlessly integrate into traditional landscaping designs. In this slide lecture, you'll discover ways to loosen up your style, emulate nature, and incorporate native plants into your landscape. Discover resilient plant species that promote biodiversity, reduce maintenance requirements, and enhance your outdoor environment, providing a habitat for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife.
