Have you been told that native plants are dry and brown, hard to find, hard to grow, fire-prone or expensive? In this talk, landscape designer Patricia Evans will bust these myths and more. She will explain the many benefits of growing native plants and show pictures of the best native annuals, perennials, shrubs, and trees suited for a home garden. She will also explain how to plant and water to ensure success. There will be a free opportunity drawing for door prizes of native plants.
