Longwood Gardens’ Associate Director of Land Stewardship and Ecology Lea Johnson, Ph.D. leads a fascinating discussion on what makes a species native versus non-native versus invasive, why we might prefer native species, and how native species improve so many things about our yards and gardens, from wildlife habitat to water management to beauty throughout the seasons. Leave with top tips for adding native species to your garden, along with a young plant of your own to start your native garden.
