Discover not only how beautiful they can be, but how essential they are to our world – and everything that lives here! You’ll learn the difference between natives and nativars, as well as non-native, naturalized, and invasive plants. For shady or sunny gardens, spring to fall, you’ll also meet some of the many choices to add to your existing garden or to create your own native plant paradise.
