                       Lahr Native Plant Symposium:

                        March 29, 9:00 am - 3:30 pm

How do native plant cultivars fit into our gardens and what are the
possible effects our garden choices have on the natural world? Tony Avent,

this topic along with speakers from research, public gardens, and the
nursery trade. All registrants gain early entry to the Native Plant Sale.
