Plant Ramble: Native Gardening and Landscaping

Come discover what trees, shrubs, flowers, vines and native ornamental grasses thrive in our region!

Interested in adding native plants to your yard but not sure where to begin? Led by Christina Gibson, we will ramble around Reflection Riding's nursery, where you'll have the opportunity to take home the right plant for the right place, right away!

Come discover what trees, shrubs, flowers, vines and native ornamental grasses thrive in our region and learn what criteria to consider to make the best selection for your yarden (that's right, yarden). Native plants require very little maintenance once established in the right conditions, and offer big rewards - like bird habitat, food, medicine, rainwater management, and beauty - for many seasons to come. This walk is open to all ages and skill levels; no experience required.

Christina Gibson is an herbalist, arborist, and landscape designer based in Chattanooga.

These programs will happen outdoors, so don't forget to dress for the weather, wear sturdy shoes and bring along anything else you might need to enjoy time outdoors in this season. In the event of severe weather, programs may have to be cancelled and refunds offered.

A minimum of 15 people are required for this event to take place. This event will take place on April 1st, April 2nd, and May 7th.
