Native Shrubs: an Essential Landscape Layer

Planting shrubs under canopy and understory trees in the landscape is a very important step in creating a diverse habitat for wildlife. These shrubs are multitaskers – not only will they add beauty to your yard – they will provide essential shelter and food for wildlife. Please join Mount Vernon’s Greenhouse Manager, Melanie Welles Creamer, to learn about native shrubs that form this important and often overlooked woodland layer. This webinar is the third in a four part series focused on integrating the fields of ecology and horticulture. It will take place on February 16 at 12 pm, let’s create beautiful spaces with a purpose.
