presentation
will help you
navigate the
difficult task
of selecting
and sourcing
native plants,
including the
drawbacks and
benefits to
using
cultivars, the
challenges
with
propagating
certain plants
on a
commercial
scale, and the
importance of
local genotype
varieties.
Claudio will
tackle the hot
debate of
whether a
native-only
landscape is
necessary and
help us
understand the
environmental
impact of
genetic
diversity and
its importance
in
establishing
sustainable
ecosystems.
Learn how to
balance your
individual

homeowners,
horticulturalists
and
professional

within the
context of
conservation,
while meeting
specific
aesthetics,
resilience and
