Native Landscape Design Virtual Workshop Series 2024

Registration is closed for this year’s Native Plant Design Workshop. If you have any questions, please contact Elizabeth McDermott at emm13@illinois.edu and we hope to see you next year!

Native plants are beautiful, adapted to the local environment, and beneficial to wildlife, but how do you make them look their best in your home landscape? Learn design principles and native plant selection in this online workshop series with University of Illinois Extension. 

This workshop has two parts:

1. Educational lecture by Extension horticulture educators and Master Gardener. This session will focus on landscape design principles, native plants resources, and incorporating native plants into your landscape. January 30th from 6-8pm CST via Zoom.

2. At the end of the lecture, attendees will be invited to attend one of two virtual coaching sessions, where they will be mentored by a Master Naturalist or Master Gardener who will help with garden layout, plant selection, and troubleshooting. These coaching sessions will be held on Zoom on February 13th and 27th, from 6-8pm. Homework is required to attend the coaching session. Capacity for coaching sessions is limited and attendance of the lecture does not guarantee a spot in a coaching session.

Deadline to register: January 28, 2024

If you have any questions or need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact Elizabeth McDermott at emm13@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your needs.
