Description: Dividing, replanting, spraying, deadheading: at some point it begins to be too much. Making the effort to replace flowering non-native perennials with native flowering shrubs and groundcovers can, in the end, allow you to live in a better relationship with your outdoor space: sitting and relaxing in it, instead of being on your hands and knees. We will talk about some of these wonderful native plants, and why they perform as they do in enhancing our environment.
