The Native Plant fans over at Mainspring Conservation Trust, WNC Wild Ones and Winding Stair Farm decided it’s time to join forces and create an event where we can share our love of local, indigenous species with others.

We’ve designed this class to be both educational, fun and creative. Join us as we celebrate the importance of native plants in our ecosystems as well as the joy they bring to humans, mammals, birds and pollinators alike. Not just that… you will also be able to get your hands in the dirt and design your own native plant container garden.

If you’re new to native plants and want to dabble and learn more, a container garden is a great entry into the game.

Class fee includes a fiber (compostable) container, soil and plants so you can create your take-home planter. With our guidance you’ll get to choose from a range of native plants to fit your preferences and to fit in your home landscape. You can choose up to 5 different plants for your creation.

You’ll learn a little bit about each organization and their role in conservation of the many native plant species in our area.
