Native Plants in Small Spaces:

When you think of native plants, do you imagine tall prairies or rows of towering sunflowers? Would it surprise you to learn that many native plants are not only beautiful, easy-to-grow, and environmentally friendly but also adaptable to smaller gardens as well? This talk focuses on how you can grow native plants that can be used in containers and window boxes as well as in small garden plots.
