    Native Plants for Wetlands and Shorelines

    Do you have a ditch, shoreline, or wetland on your property you want to spruce up beyond cattails and swamp grass?

There are lots of varieties of natives and non-native perennials that can be used to add color, texture, and eye-appeal that don’t mind having wet toes. Let’s figure out how to add an aesthetic splash into that soggy site. Participants will receive a native plant book, and several door prizes will be given away from local plant specialists.
