The Garden Club of Weaverville

October 2023 Meeting

Tuesday, October 10, at 11:30 a.m.

Weaverville Community Center

60 Lakeshore Drive

Albert Weaver Room

Landscaping with native plants is critical to build habitat, build healthy outdoor living areas, and reduce resource inputs. Learn why only native plants can do this, and learn about some design tips to make your native landscape beautiful as well.

Presenter Drew Lathin, owner of Mountain Native Landscape Design, has been playing around with native plants in built landscapes for more than 20 years as a home gardener, native plant nursery manager, owner of a sustainable landscape installation firm, and landscape designer. He is a fierce advocate for the need to re-wild our urban and suburban landscapes using native plants in thoughtful and legible designs to bring biological diversity and beauty to our everyday lives. Four hundred of his clients now have rain gardens, prairie gardens, pollinator gardens, natural shorelines, and alternative lawns.

All are welcome to attend. The garden club will provide refreshments immediately following the program, and the business meeting will begin soon thereafter. Feel free to bring your own beverages.
