Native Plants Work Hard in Sustainable Landscapes

In ornamental landscapes, native plants tolerate drought, attract wildlife, create a sense of place, offer year-round beauty, and teach us about the ecology and complexity of life in the Pacific Northwest.  In this illustrated presentation, Clay Antieau highlights native plants that are reliable, species useful for specific landscape conditions, and natives deserving of wider use.  Along the way, he’ll cover species that often fail to thrive in cultivated landscapes and the reason why.  Discover the eminently rewarding world of our Northwest flora and the many ways in which native plants are used effectively in garden design.
