Each spring the Southwest Illinois Grow Native! Event Committee hosts a half-day workshop for native plant enthusiasts in the region, but due to COVID, this annual event has been postponed and transformed into a webinar series for 2021.

“With spring just around the corner, people have questions about planning their native
gardens, and we have answers! COVID can’t stop the birds and butterflies, so we won’t stop educating the public about how to attract them,” said Nate Keener, Sustainability Director of Lewis and Clark Community College and Grow Native! program committee member.

Come prepared to ask questions about site selection and preparation, plant selection and
aesthetics, maintenance, deer resistant plants, and more. Registration for this free virtual event is required. Register online here.
