What do we need to think about as we build our gardens and landscapes? How can we create a landscape that is attractive and sustainable? Can native plants learn to adapt to our changing environment?  This workshop is geared toward home gardeners seeking advice on where to place their native plants.  Light, soil and moisture characteristics play a critical role in how native plants adapt to the plant community we create.

 

 


We can provide a speaker for your event.  Most presentations include a power point.  We have spoken at the Philadelphia Flower Show, many local garden clubs, the Allentown Flower Show, and more.

We can also host school and scout groups at the nursery for educational events and badge work.  Here is info on our onsite and off-site  educational progams.

Climate-Wise Landscaping

Replace the seasonal non-native plantings that need to be replaced every few months with native perennial borders. And instead of wide spaces of mulch between the plants, place them close together so that there is little room for weeds. This practice is part of climate-wise landscaping because it reduces soil disturbances, which reduces the carbon released to the air and it reduces the large footprint of repetitive production and transport to supply new plants every season. The perennials will last for many seasons and require much less labor.

Trees, trees, and more trees! Oh, and shrubs, shrubs, and yes, more shrubs! We have a wonderful selection of native trees and shrubs available now. Woody plants provide interest all year long, height to the garden, vital habitat for wildlife, and years of satisfaction as you watch your plant grow into a mature specimen! They are the foundation of our greater, forested ecosystem spanning most of eastern North America, which historically covered nearly 100% of Pennsylvania’s landmass. Today, forested land still makes up the majority of Pennsylvania’s total land area, at about 58% coverage. Below are some of the trees we have now, keep an eye for another post soon about shrubs :)

Available now:

*Trees*

Shagbark hickory
Shellbark hickory
Red maple
Sugar maple
Red oak
Willow oak
Black oak
Shumard oak
Pin oak
Beech
Sycamore
