(MD) (Montgomery Parks) The negative effects of climate change are well known – but there are positive changes that we can make locally. Designing with native plants to create sustainable landscapes can be instrumental in mitigating threats to wildlife and the environment. Join us for a fascinating day of presentations offering practical strategies to create sustainable and resilient landscapes. You’ll benefit from decision matrixes that help make informed plant selections and develop successful designs based on a range of environments, ecological benefits, and sustainability goals. You’ll be surprised how climate change is dictating conservation efforts, its impact on native plant ecoregions and even its implications for expanding our plant palette.
