Hopkinton Garden Club's Online Speaker Series Presents: “New England Native Flora”
With Gretel Anspach - Tuesday, October 19, 2021 7:30 p.m. via *Zoom, free and open to the public.
During this illustrated presentation, you will learn about native plants of New England. Plants native to our region will be easier to maintain, better able to withstand New England weather and may offer better resistance to deer and rabbits. The trees, shrubs, and perennials that evolved here will grow here with much less input from you. You will reduce your workload while creating a paradise for the native birds and pollinators
