Which plants should I plant?
June 13 | Noon-1pm | Zoom
Presenters & Partners: John Bly, Director of Operations and Special Projects at Metro Blooms & Jessy Carlson, Resilience Extension Associate at Minnesota Sea Grant
Adding native plants to your yard is a great idea! Native species can provide pollinator habitat, prevent erosion, filter stormwater runoff, and add beauty. But how do you know which species to choose?
In this 1-hour webinar, we will simplify the process of making a native garden species list. We will cover 1) clarifying your project goals 2) identifying site conditions, which will determine your species list, and 3) we will introduce an online, Minnesota-specific, species selection tool (Plant Finder) that can provide you with a species list tailored for your project and your site.
