Growing and protecting native plants are important for many reasons: they celebrate our state and region, they are well suited to our region’s growing conditions, and they are the foundation of the complex ecosystem that supports insects, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. Native plants can be tough, beautiful garden plants for your home landscape as well as delicate harbingers of the changing seasons. Join us this year as we explore the native medicinal plants that call the southeast home. Learn about the plants that have been used in remedies for centuries, their modern applications, and how these plants can easily become part of your personal garden.
