Want to have more success choosing plants for your garden and landscape? Join us on Saturday, April 6, at 10:30 a.m., for a free seminar as Joy Grissom, co-founder of the local nonprofit Native Plant Rescue Squad, explains why native plants, trees, and shrubs are excellent choices.

Why? Native plants:

~ Tend to be healthier since they are acclimated to our local climate

~ In general establish themselves more quickly than non-native plants

~ Are more economical because they tend to be hardier

~ Are low-maintenance and easier to care for than non-native plants

~ Attract pollinators and beneficial wildlife to your garden or landscape

~ Require less water and help prevent erosion

To find out more reasons native plants are a great idea for your garden—and which plants are the best choices for the Knoxville area, visit us at the greenhouse on April 6, as Joy Grissom shares her tips for growing an abundant native garden.
