Wild Ones own, Brian Killen  will discuss the basics of landscaping with native plants. 

"Over the past few years, I set out on my journey to convert my property into a pollinator and bird-friendly landscape by gardening with native plants, removing lawn, and creating habitat. In order to help other home gardeners in their native landscaping pursuits, I wanted to share what I have learned, including the basics of native plants, planting, design,
and maintenance."
