A presentation by Claudia Thompson, Founder of Grow Native Massachusetts


Native plants are increasingly recognized as important to our gardens and landscapes, but why? Claudia will give us an overview of their essential role in ecosystem health, starting with the concept of co-evolution between plants and animals and ending with a tour of her 7,000 square foot garden in Cambridge, MA. She will explain the differences among native, naturalized, and invasive plants and explore the food web that links plants to insects to birds, wildlife, and humans. By the end of the program, you will understand why native plants are so important and what you can do in your own garden to make the world a better place!
