Native Plant Landscaping Tour

Ever wonder how native plant landscaping might work in your yard? Diverse plantings of native shrubs, trees, wildflowers, and grasses can boost your enjoyment of nature at home, while supporting wildlife and connecting conservation lands. NCF Botanist/Plant Ecologist Kelly Omand gives a tour of our office at 118 Cliff Rd to explore the changes we’ve made to our office gardens. We recently had a makeover to remove invasive species and add ornamental native foundation plantings sponsored by a generous Nantucket Garden Club Grant, along with a biodiversity meadow. We’ll observe and discuss the insect life and animals that have benefited from this project.
