Medfield Gardner Neal Sanders Talks about Native Plants for Home Landscaping

Do you dream of a profusion of flowering perennials and shrubs in your yard? Sick of watering, raking, weeding?

Please come to Neal Sanders’ presentation “Reclaim Your Roots: How Native Plants Can Save you Money and Time”, Thursday September 30 at 6:30 at the Medfield Public Safety Building, 112 North St.

Local resident and nationally known author, Neal Sanders will present – with a great deal of humor and personal experience– the benefits of using native plants to establish your own show stopping landscape without the heartache.  Discover how to identify and safely remove invasive plants and introduce native perennials that replace water guzzling lawns and thirsty annuals.  He will also stress ‘going native’ is not an all-or-nothing deal – it’s okay to have lawn and non-natives: it’s all about the balance!  And the local neighbors, flora and fauna, will admire your efforts!

This presentation is brought to you by The Medfield Garden Club and SustainableMedfield.  More information can be found at https://tinyurl.com/muynefu6. Questions can be directed to Info@sustainableMedfield.org.
