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.
This fifth class in the Ecological Gardening Series is all about selecting the right plants for the right place, and how to create a garden with continuous blooms.
A thriving garden can provide beauty and ecological benefits throughout the growing season when plants are chosen thoughtfully. This class will explore how to select native plants that are well-suited to specific site conditions while also creating continuous blooms from early spring through fall. We’ll discuss bloom timing, plant form, and ecological roles—such as supporting pollinators and other wildlife—so your garden is both visually dynamic and ecologically productive. Emphasis will be placed on matching plants to place, reducing inputs, and building plant communities that evolve gracefully over time.
Presenters: Jared Odell, Ecologist, CEO/Founder of Tierra Environmental Consulting and Rosy Harpe, Sustainable Landscape Ecologist and Conservation Manager with WaterWays
