Native Plants 101 Workshop: Select the Right Native Plants for Your Eastern U.S. Garden

Confidently choose native plants that will work in your yard, look good, AND attract pollinators and wildlife.

Do you dream of having a yard that is alive with beautiful butterflies fluttering from one flower to the next, songbirds singing or flying back to their nests with food for their babies, and a plethora of other animals living in the thriving ecosystem you’ve created?

Native plants are the key to making that dream come true.

🦋 Maybe you know that, but you aren’t sure where to start – how do you even know what plants are native to your location?

🦋 Or maybe you shy away from native plants because you live in a neighborhood where you can’t have your yard or gardens looking wild and crazy.

🦋 Or maybe you just feel overwhelmed and discouraged because you can’t find any native plants at your local garden centers.

I’ve helped countless people solve all these challenges (plus many others) and I can help you too.

What people I’ve helped have to say:

  • After doing what you suggested, I discovered 3 native plant nurseries within 20 minutes of my home! It’s a small world, and it is amazing how much help you have already been to me!
  • I have access to lots of people who have plant knowledge, but it is really nice to have someone who is thinking about the plants as part of an ecosystem and not just a garden.
  • This was really helpful, thank you. I realize I’ve been overthinking this and making it harder than it needs to be.
