CEU's for Landscape Architects
•
1h 13m
Native plants often get top billing for supporting pollinators. However, native plants also offer solutions for areas that can be difficult to manage, like underneath trees, on slopes, and in drainage fields. Installing the right plant in the right place for the right purpose is critical for success. By selecting native plants that function together as a community, you can create plantings that not only survive in these situations but will also provide key benefits. This session will cover helpful strategies for choosing native plants for the variable shade underneath trees, erosion control on slopes, and managing stormwater in drainage areas. We’ll examine a handful of specific native perennials for each situation, focusing on characteristics and adaptations that make them particularly helpful. Join us for solutions that bring beauty, functionality, and resilience to your clients’ landscapes.
