Presented by Lexington Living Landscapes, Lexington Field and Garden Club, and Cary Library.

For those who care about the natural world, the decision to plant natives in the garden is one of the most impactful and important choices we can make. Native plants have the power to heal our landscapes, welcome wildlife into our gardens, and inspire us.

Please join Uli Lorimer, Native Plant Trust’s Director of Horticulture, for a presentation highlighting our region’s spectacular plant diversity and varied habitats. With so much under threat from a changing climate, invasive species, habitat loss and fragmentation, and declining numbers of birds and insects, planting natives in your garden is one step we can each take to make a difference.

In his role at Native Plant Trust, Uli oversees the facilities and operations at Garden in the Woods and at Nasami Farm. He has 20 years of experience working with native plants in public gardens, including Brooklyn Botanic Garden and the US National Arboretum. Uli’s upcoming book, The Northeast Native Plant Primer (requestable from the Library here) to be published in May, provides a roadmap to help you include native plants in your garden whether you are new to gardening or a seasoned professional.

This online event is co-sponsored by Lexington Living Landscapes, Lexington Field and Garden Club, and the Lexington Conservation Division.
