Greensboro Public Library Program Explores Native Plants January 10
Learn about growing native plants at Living Landscapes: Connecting People and Native Plants from 10 am-12 pm, Saturday, January 10, at the Kathleen Clay Edwards Family Branch, 1420 Price Park Rd. The presentation will feature two dynamic, regional experts on native plants.
Shannon Currey, Education and Outreach for Izel Native Plants, will speak about native perennials for shady situations and Preston Montague, Landscape Architect and Instructor at NC A&T University, will talk about planting native perennials in North Carolina's urban environments.
Currey will discuss native, herbaceous perennials that offer a powerful combination of visual appeal and ecological function in shady spaces. This session addresses the nature of shade and some of the physiological adaptations that shade-tolerant plants employ.
Montague will discuss the benefits of herbaceous plantings and biodiversity in our cities. Herbaceous plants have tremendous potential to provide for a wide range of ecosystem services, not least of which is boosting biodiversity in our most urban environments. Montague is an artist working to strengthen relationships between people and the natural world.
To attend, register in advance by e-mailing Melanie Buckingham.
