Knowing Native Plants: Wildflowers in Winter (Virtual Program)
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, 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. Presented By: Mary Anne Borge Mary Anne Borge is a naturalist, photographer, author and educator.
