Native Plant Initiative: Plant sale, Iris Society, landscaping workshop, and more

Native plants require no fertilizer and are more low maintenance than exotics, and are much better for pollinators. The Native Plant Initiative of Greater New Orleans is a good, active group of volunteers. Here’s their newsletter, with info on upcoming events, including the LessLawn/LawnLess educational exhibit at the upcoming Spring Garden Show.
