I attended the Rhody Native workshop (Panel Discussion) and felt the information was very interesting and helpful in building my awareness of the importance in native planting. I have attended many URI workshops given by Kate and other professionals. The workshops have brought my attention in the need to promote native plantings to the Edgewood Garden Club and the public. My own gardens have recently been certified for a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Foundation. I am very excited to help promote wildlife habitats and native planting to the Edgewood community. Thank you very much in offering these wonderful classes, I will keep on learning.
You all are very passionate in what you believe in. Keep up the good work.
