The foundation gardens around homes and community buildings need not be a bastion of imports such as pachysandra and boxwood. In this two-hour seminar we “deconstruct” traditional ideas about foundation plants and planting designs. Then, we consider ways to increase “curb appeal” with native shrubs, trees, and perennials. Design resources and plant lists accompany this talk.
