Using the University of Wisconsin-Madison Arboretum’s 4-acre Wisconsin Native Plant Garden as an outdoor classroom, we’ll combine workshops, take-home tips and living examples to help you become an inspired and successful native gardener. We’ve gathered experts to lead you step-by-step through developing, maintaining and improving your native garden. Beginners to experienced gardeners can get their gardening questions answered, learn from fellow gardeners and come away with enthusiasm, inspiration and an impressive collection of native gardening resources.

Keynote Address: Doug Tallamy – Bringing Nature Home Tallamy will discuss the important roles of native plants in our landscapes, emphasize the benefits of designing gardens with these roles in mind, and explore the consequences of failing to do so.
