Promotional Poster

      Please see the promotional poster below for connecting to a new native plant eGuide that Pat Goggin wrote and compiled over the last 7 years entitled “Guide to Native plants (a.k.a. Local Beings): 112 species that support clean water, wildlife habitat, and a happy soul.” 

      This 160-page guide has over 400 photographs and appendices of resources related to native plant gardening and ecological restoration design and installation. Click on the Guide to Native Plants button below.
