Native Shrubs for Resilient Landscapes (in person)

Shrubs are an important layer in natural plant communities, serving multiple functions and supporting other plants and wildlife. In cultivated landscapes, they’re often relegated to foundation plantings or shrub islands surrounded by turf. There is so much more they can do! Join Shannon Currey of Izel Native Plants to explore the benefits of a shrub layer in creating more resilient, biodiverse landscapes that serve humans and wildlife. Learn about a range of North American woody species that create habitat, lend structure and beauty and even offer tasty treats!
