McKinney area workshop to promote native plants
Savvy gardeners understand that choosing native plants can give them a beautiful garden for a lot less effort, and a McKinney area workshop will show members of the public how to get started.
The registrants who take a seat in the Native Perennials Brown Bag Workshop will discover for themselves the benefits that go hand in hand with using native species. It is free to participate, and everyone is encouraged to bring their lunch to enjoy while they learn.
Tim Wardell, who works with Shades of Green, will share his expertise during the event. The participants will discover how native plants are already well adapted to local growing conditions, tend to need less water, and are more resistant to area pests and diseases. They will be introduced to cultivars of these plants that are available in the nursery trade, and Wardell will also give tips for choosing the right cultivar for a particular bed. The session will run for one hour.
While a workshop like this may provide an introduction to the value of native plants, there may not be enough time to provide all the details the attendees want. Distributing gardening booklets crafted by an area brochure printing company will make it easier for them to keep on learning.
The Grove at Frisco Commons will welcome registrants for this lunch and learn at noon on September 10. It is an initiative of Play Frisco Natural Resources.
