Foundation Gardens That Say ‘Welcome Home’ to Native Plants

Darien Library, along with Darien Nature Center and Darien Pollinator Pathway, welcomes landscape designer and lecturer, Kathy Connolly, who will address your house’s foundation plants, those plants you put around the house, close to the walls, under the windows, and beside the doors for the perfect blend of house and property. — an announcement from Darien Library

Do you want to change the plantings around your house? Would you like to incorporate native plants that, for the most part, are less problematic and need little maintenance? In this one-hour presentation, Kathy will first consider the design problems posed by the foundation area around homes and other buildings. Then she will look at native plants that fit into that highly visible setting.
