You’ve heard that native plants have so many benefits—but what are they, really? From low-maintenance beauty to supporting pollinators and attracting wildlife, native plants offer so much more than meets the eye.
In this class, we’ll explore what makes a plant “native,” why they matter, and how they can transform your yard. You’ll learn how to choose the right plants for your space, soil, and sunlight conditions, and how to align your selections with your specific landscape goals.

Community Instructor: Becca Mathews, River Bend Homestead
Becca has a degree in Environmental Biology, and her passion for sharing this love of nature has hooked her into the field of Environmental Education. In the fall of 2023, Becca shifted the setting of her educational work by starting her own flower farm. A lot of emphasis has been put on the importance of sustainable food and meat production and Becca is trying to bring that same focus to flower production on her farm. Through programming surrounding her flowers and nature, Becca strives to inspire everyone to take the steps toward planting their first seeds, and learning to grow flowers and food of their own in symbiosis with the natural world.
