Horticulturist and author Uli Lorimer will speak online Wednesday night in an event sponsored by Darien Librar to talk about his book, “The Northeast Native Plant Primer: 235 Plants for an Earth-Friendly Garden.” — an announcement from Darien Library

Think native species for your garden beds, and you will be so glad you did.  Native plants are just as beautiful as their exotic counterparts!  In addition are generally hardier, and more resistant to pests and disease, because — they belong here! An added bonus: They attract birds and insects and other fun wildlife.  Who doesn’t love a butterfly? Uli’s sourcebook includes 235 recommended native trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, wildflowers, grasses, sedges, and annuals. It’s everything you need to know to create a beautiful and beneficial garden.
