Native Plants in West Woods: Identification, Value and Availability
The Guilford Land Conservation Trust and Guilford Free Library has generously sponsored my talk on Native Plants in Westwood to be held Wednesday May 29th at 7pm. During the talk I will identify a variety of native (and invasive) trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants common in West Woods and available for purchase in the nursery trade. I will discuss the basic characteristics, habitat and landscape value of each plant and describe in what conditions they may be found and/or planted. The goal of the talk is to familiarize listeners with common native plants which will enrich their experience in West Woods and offer ideas for plants they may be able to plant on their own properties.
A follow-up in-person West Woods walk is planned on the Sunday following the discussion.
