Adult Author Talk & Lecture Program
From 2020 to 2045, 443,000 new people are expected to move into NWA – that’s a population increase of 83.4% - a lot of residential. All those yards can fill a niche of either feeding or not feeding wildlife as development displaces wildlife. Please join us in a discussion about how to design with native plants – how to choose them, where to find information about them, where to purchase the plants, how to garden easier, and how to design with natives in a beautiful manner. We’ll also discuss how natives can create a sense of place and add small-town feeling within neighborhoods.
