Gardening with Native Plants is a way to connect your landscape to the wider ecological networks that we are all a part of. The Arizona-Sonora Borderlands is home to an astonishing diversity of plant species that survive in conditions ranging from year-round standing water to sun-baked desert. With such a broad selection at our fingertips, there is a native plant for every garden situation. Bringing these plants into your home can attract wildlife, cultivate food and medicine, and help stem the tide of habitat fragmentation, all while creating a sense of place. This workshop will focus on the methods for propagating and growing a variety of species native to the Sonoran Desert region. Through hands-on practice and observation, we will learn to start plants from seeds and cuttings and will discuss how to choose the right plant for your location and ensure that it thrives. This class is for gardeners of all levels with an interest in making their landscapes more resilient and productive. Participants are encouraged to come with plant questions, landscape drawings, and a willingness to learn.
