This conference is dedicated to promoting sustainable gardening and landscaping practices rooted in native plants. Come celebrate the beauty and ecological significance of indigenous flora, utilizing practical insights and resources to transform your outdoor space into vibrant, resilient landscapes that benefit both people and the environment. From expert presentations and interactive workshops to a native plant sale and networking opportunities, join us in cultivating Jersey-Friendly yards that support biodiversity, conserve water, and foster community engagement.
