Landscape Design with Missouri in Mind is coming to the northwest and southeast corners of the state with in-depth information on how to use native plants in landscapes large and small. Grow Native!, a joint program of Missouri Department of Conservation and Missouri Department of Agriculture, along with local partners, is sponsoring the day-long workshop Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22, and 24, in St. Joseph and Friday, March 7, in Cape Girardeau. Landscape professionals are encouraged to attend the Feb. 22 or March 7 sessions and homeowners the Feb. 24 session in St. Joe. A naturescaping symposium for homeowners will take place Saturday, March 8, in Cape Girardeau.
The workshops include sessions on natural communities, how to match plants to property conditions, how to establish a prairie planting and how to select trees for your landscape. The day begins with a presentation by Dave Tylka, author of Native Landscaping for Wildlife and People, who will set the stage for the rest of the day by helping attendees understand the benefits of native plants for both landowners and wildlife. MNLA’s MaryAnn Fink will wrap up the day by describing outstanding native plant combinations and how use them in a landscape.
