‘Landscaping with Native Plants’ eco-forum March 27
Published Date
ALBANY — The Tin Mountain Conservation Center is presenting the eco-forum “Go Native! – Landscaping with Native Plants with Carol Jowdy and Nels Liljedahl” Thursday, March 27, from 12 to 1 p.m. at the Nature Learning Center.
Driving through town on a summer day, you are likely to see flower gardens and landscapes filled with leaves, berries and blooms of exotic plants from all over the world. Although aesthetically pleasing, many of these plants become invasive, taking over the natural plant habitats for surrounding wildlife. Imagine instead your own yard as a lush green landscape speckled with brilliant native wildflowers, shrubs and trees.
The reality of creating such a landscape is much easier than you would think and extremely beneficial. Landscaping with native plants allows you to beautify your yard, helps to fight invasive plants, and creates vital habitat for New Hampshire’s native wildlife including birds and butterflies.
What wildflowers attract monarchs and other colorful butterflies? What trees entice cedar waxwings to rest and feed during the winter months? Which fruiting plants will provide delicious treats during the heat of the summer? If you are interested in learning about New Hampshire’s beautiful native plants, tips on how to plan your landscape, or where to purchase native plants.
