Webinar Description:
California native plant gardens are one of the biggest growing sectors in the gardening industry. For at least two years the American Society of Landscape Architects’ industry survey showed native plant landscaping to be the number one anticipated consumer trend. People like the idea of habitat friendly and low-water gardens. Many people already associate “native plants” with these goals. However, consumers don’t know what native plants to choose, where to find them, or how to design with them. Learn the when, why, and how of designing with native plants. We’ll discuss plant selection, where to source plants, benefits of using native plants in the built environment, and the basic tenants of designing with and for them.

Learning Objectives:
1. How native plant design can benefit your business
2. Public perception of natives through a recent study
3. Design guidelines for native plants
