Foundation Gardens and Native Plants

Let's consider the design problems posed by the foundation area around homes and other buildings. Then, consider how native plants fit into that highly visible setting. The foundation garden need not be a bastion of imports such as pachysandra and boxwood!

Among regional native plants, there are flowering perennials, shrubs, grasses, trees, and ferns that both provide habitat for birds and pollinators as well as a pleasing appearance. Let's take a look at how we can achieve curb appeal and nature support in the foundation area of our homes and community buildings. 

This talk is accompanied by design resources and plant lists.
