Inspired by our previous interview with Doug Tallamy of Homegrown National Park, we decided that everyone needs an ever deeper dive into choosing the right native plants for your garden. Elaine Mills of Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia was gracious enough to share her presentation on ground covers and answer questions during one of our live Thursdays night zoom events – affectionately know as Movie Nights.
Unlock the secrets to a sustainable and vibrant landscape using native plants with Extension Master Gardener Elaine Mills! From perennials and ferns to grasses, sedges, and woody plants, explore the incredible variety of ground covers that can transform your landscape. Native Plants can replace traditional choices like English ivy, liriope, and periwinkle while providing food and shelter for local pollinators and birds.
Let’s Cultivate Change Together! Transform your outdoor space into a haven for biodiversity. Join us for an evening of insightful knowledge and community camaraderie. Together, let’s embrace the beauty and sustainability of native plant ground covers!
