Spring is coming! Get ready for April, Oregon’s Native Plant Appreciation Month with a Floral Tune-Up. Join us for a hybrid refresher on the coming “pretty faces” and subtle beauties of our Southwest Oregon diversity hotspot. We’ll review many wonderful native species and point out some wild places to appreciate them. We’ll showcase tools and techniques for identification, and highlight sources for plant materials so you can enrich your personal landscape with natives to bolster the biodiversity!
