We always love partnering with the Ashland Garden Club and this is no exception!  This presentation focuses on the native plants of New England. Plants native to our region will be easier to maintain, better able to withstand New England weather and may offer better resistance to deer and rabbits. The trees, shrubs, and perennials that evolved here will grow here with much less input from you. You will reduce your workload while creating a paradise for the native birds and pollinators. Who doesn't want that!? 

Please note that this program will not be recorded or livestreamed. Registration is Requested
