From West Cook Wild Ones:
Any spot in your yard can have a beautiful native plant growing in it - all you have to do is find the right plant for the right environment - the best way is to mimic nature. This presentation will walk you through some of our region’s main plant communities and point out more and less common native plants present in given conditions, and how you can adopt them in your garden.
Presenter Bio:
Iza is an ecologist, a volunteer steward and a native plant fanatic. She started growing native plants in her garden more than 10 years ago and has not stopped. Her love for native plants stem from working as a restoration ecologist on large prairie and wetland mosaics, and was then refined by spending more time in increasingly urban spaces. She is an optimist believing in a brighter future in which individuals, institutions, corporations and governments heal the land while healing our communities - both physically and mentally. Native plants, of course, will be a large part of the equation.
