Here are resources for you as you plant your natives. If you are coming to the class on Thursday, please watch these videos and glance at the handout ahead of time. That will allow us to get the most out of our time together. If you aren't able, don't worry...we got you covered.
NOTE: He recommends digging a hole twice the width of the plant. I don't. We dig a hole the same size as the plant.
