🌿 Ready to make every plant in your garden count? 🌿

Not all "native" plants are created equal—and understanding the difference can have a big impact on pollinators, birds, and the health of our local ecosystems.

Join us on Wednesday, June 10 at 10:00 AM for Native or Not? Understanding Plants & Pollinators with Sharleen Johnson of Native Plants to the People at the Charleston HORT Office.
In this fascinating workshop, Sharleen will explore:

🌱 Native plants vs. cultivars, straight species, and ecotypes
🐝 How plant choices affect pollinators and beneficial insects
🌿 The differences between seed-grown and vegetatively propagated plants
🦋 Ways to create a more resilient and wildlife-friendly landscape

Whether you're a seasoned gardener or just beginning your native plant journey, you'll leave with practical knowledge to help you garden with intention and support the Lowcountry's unique ecosystem.
