A native landscape bursts with life, evolving each season to offer new opportunities to observe, learn, and nurture. This presentation will take a stroll through the year, highlighting small and meaningful moments that often go unnoticed: early spring bloomers, abundant summer flowers, fall wildlife hidden in plain sight, and winter sowing and planning. Whether you’re new to native plants or already cultivating habitat, this talk blends observation, wildlife-friendly stewardship, and seasonal care to help you feel more connected to your landscape year-round.
