Great Native Plants for Your Landscape

Taught by Pam Morris Olshefski, Curatorial Assistant, Morris Arboretum
From Amelanchier to Verbena, there are many great native plants you can use to enhance your garden. In this illustrated lecture and walk through the Arboretum you will learn about many good choices, the conditions they require to grow, and how to successfully work them into your landscape. Pam will focus on woody and perennial plants that provide seasonal interest with attractive flowers, fruit, fall color, and bark texture. She will discuss good native plant cultivars that have been bred for appealing garden traits, such as compact size, abundant flowers, and fruit. Pam will also discuss adding fall color to the garden with native wildflowers. This class will include a walk through the Arboretum looking at native plants and considering how to use them in the landscape.
