Why Native Plants Matter - A talk by Heather McCargo, Founder and Seed Program Manager at the Wild Seed Project in Maine

Heather covers the many reasons we all should care about our region’s native flora and the importance of bringing native plants back into our gardens and developed landscapes. She also discusses current native plant trends and issues in the nursery trade (including cloning and the loss of genetic diversity), and explains how we all can support our native flora by planting seed-grown native plants.
