Webinar Description:
People think that if they use native plants that their landscapes are sustainable however a lot of these landscapes are not sustainable. With the use of a Permaculture rules and the Water Use Classification of Landscape Species website, we can get non-native showy plants to be grown sustainable. Growing native plants with these principals will be "Child's Play" to be grown sustainably. To benefit the ecology, the plant selections should attract butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. To attract high end residences the plant material will need to be showy with lots of color. Trouble shooting in the landscape tips will be revealed which is essential as the landscape will need to be planted correctly for a sustainable landscape to thrive.
