Join Innisfree Gardens and renowned horticulturist and Innisfree trustee Brad Roeller as he presents his top native plant picks for Northeastern gardens. Drawing on over four decades of expertise, Brad will explain the value, versatility, and adaptability of his curated selections of native perennials that should be known and used more widely. He will also introduce the ecological and design principles essential to successfully integrating native species into our gardens. The first lunchtime lecture on March 22 will focus on shade loving native perennials, and the second on March 29 will focus on those that love sun. Detailed plant lists and Zoom links will be emailed to registrants prior to both virtual talks and Brad will answer questions at the end of each presentation. Lecture recordings will be shared afterwards with ticket holders.
