SUMMARY:Massachusetts Horticultural Society: Rethinking Garden Maintenance:
  Native vs. Traditional Approaches
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE\n\nWith the growing interest in incorporating nat
 ive plants into our landscapes\, it’s essential to understand how their 
 care differs from more traditional garden maintenance practices. While nat
 ive plantings are often described as “low maintenance\,” they are not 
 “no maintenance”—and supporting a healthy ecosystem requires a thoug
 htful approach.\n\nIn this lecture\, we’ll explore the key differences b
 etween sustainable (native-focused) and conventional garden care\, includi
 ng soil preparation\, irrigation practices\, plant management\, seed colle
 ction\, seasonal cutting back\, pest and disease resistance\, mulching str
 ategies\, and more. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding o
 f how to shift maintenance practices to better support biodiversity\, soil
  health\, and long-term resilience in the garden. including guidance and r
 eference sources\, to help participants confidently apply these techniques
  in their own gardens.
