If you love to garden but don't want to devote much time, energy, or just plain muscle power to a garden, native plants are for you! You can transform your garden into a haven for birds, bees, and butterflies, while conserving water, ending dependence on fertilizers, and reducing your gardening workload. There are hundreds of gorgeous native plants that also provide food, nesting material, and shelter for many species of wildlife. Students will assess and map their garden space, learn the basics of planting, and maintaining a native plant garden, and learn to replicate nature's gardening strategies.
