The Use of Native Plants

Brian Houck, Director of Horticulture, Lincoln Park Zoo, presenter

Whether landscaping for residential locations, public spaces or formal gardens, the use of native plants guarantees a visually appealing and hearty green space. After this show-and-tell workshop, home gardeners can rest assured that their efforts will be well rewarded by a lower maintenance, sustainable garden showcasing a full range of Midwestern beauties.
