Webinar: Linda Dietrick On Mixing Native and Non-Native Plants in Your Garden, Jan 13
Linda Dietrick, PNGG member, Master Gardener, and former editor of The Prairie Garden, including the 2020 issue, Inspired by Nature, will be the guest speaker for the final meeting of the Prairie Naturals Gardening Group.
Popular projects like Douglas Tallamy’s Homegrown National Park and the David Suzuki Foundation’s Butterflyway call on gardeners to help create habitat for threatened pollinators by planting native plants. The talk will focus on high-priority natives that we should incorporate into our garden designs. It will also help identify those non-natives that may have less ecological value. What that leaves are the many plants that, while they may not be native to our region, can still provide multiple ecological benefits.
The webinar is on T7:00 PM – 8:30 PM CST.
On November 5, The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) Manitoba Chapter is hosting a free webinar with Dr. Diana Bizecki Robson, Curator of Botany at the Manitoba Museum, where she will share her research findings on some of the rarest plants in Manitoba - including Western Silvery Aster and Hairy Prairie-clover.
