Join Tennessee Valley Chapter of Wild Ones for our 7-class series in Ecological Gardening, taught by local experts who are passionate personal and professional ecological gardeners. You can attend classes as a series, or as standalone classes.
The second class in the series will focus on plants' sociability. At the heart of Ecological Landscaping and Gardening is considering and matching the needs of the land as well as the needs of the plants. We will never be successful in bending nature to our will, but we can be better stewards by taking into consideration the natural tendencies of the plants when deciding how and where to use them in the landscape.
In this talk you will learn regional plant communities and behaviors and how that applies to your yard. You will also become familiar with the pioneers of ecological landscaping and gardening in the United States, and resources that can further cultivate your knowledge base when it comes to ecological gardening.
