Native Plants Workshop at Petersburg Public Library

Adding regionally native plants to gardens and landscapes in your yard is an easy river-friendly conservation practice that can be implemented at home. Regionally native plants incorporated into rain gardens and conservation landscaping projects reduce stormwater runoff leaving your yard.

Many plant species prevalent in landscapes are not native and even invasive to our part of the world. Non-native and invasive plant species generally offer little ecological value and can outcompete native plant species. Regionally native plant species are adapted to our local climate and provide habitat for wildlife that make gardening a joy.
