Knowing Native Plants: Wildflowers in Winter with Mary Anne Borge (Jan. 20, 2024)
Free
Even in winter, native plants can be seen all around us. Join naturalist Mary Anne Borge to learn how to identify the standing winter skeletons of some common native plants, what characteristics to look for and the common types of fruit you might see in winter. We will also discuss the many benefits native plants offer to both wildlife and your own gardens during the winter months. Some plants even take special advantage of the winter months to photosynthesize. Join us to find out how they do it.
Mary Anne Borge is a naturalist, photographer, author and educator. She is the editor of Butterfly Gardener Magazine, a naturalist and instructor at Bowman’s Hill Wildflower Preserve and a Pennsylvania master naturalist. She is the team leader for Lambertville Goes Wild, a volunteer organization that successfully led Lambertville to certification as a community wildlife habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. On her blog, Mary Anne writes about and illustrates with her photography the importance of native plants to all life.
