Webinar Description:
While we as landscape professionals can understand the importance of native plants, and this new American garden style that seems to be all the rage, your clients neighbors may not view it with the same importance that we do. Are there things we can do to change their minds, or influence them, into accepting what you want to do? It isnt always as easy as it seems, but well look at some ways, some more simple, some practical, and some just fun, to hopefully sway the thinking of the disbeliever who might view this as just weeds. Carl has an energetic presentation style that will make this informative and fun.
