1h 3m
Have you ever gotten into a discussion about the “goodness” or “badness” of a non-native plant? How about a lecture on why native only landscapes are the only correct direction for horticulture to go? David will take you on a discussion of non-native plants and their positive impact on the world around them from an ecological perspective. Learn about how non-native plants may help us save pollinators and how they help hold over populations of diverse wildlife. Finally, you will walk away with some talking points that may make it easier to communicate that non-native plants are here to stay and that they may have an important role in the future of ecology.
