Native Plants for Accessible Gardens
November 6, 2025 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm America/Vancouver
Join Kristen Miskelly of Satinflower Nurseries for an engaging online workshop on how native plants can make gardens both ecologically rich and accessible for all.
Together, we’ll explore:
The beauty and benefits of local native plant species
Simple garden design ideas that support mobility and sensory enjoyment
Practical ways to create pollinator and wildlife habitats — even in small or adaptive spaces
Whether you’re new to native plants or already growing them, this session will offer inspiration and practical guidance for gardeners of all abilities.
