The Native Plant Society of Texas will offer 20 landscaping classes this fall at 14 different locations around the state. For the first time classes will be offered in the Rio Grande Valley area.
The one-day classes are part of the Native Landscape Certification Program, a series which teaches best practices for native plant landscaping – including wildlife habitat gardening. Classes focus on the characteristics and plants of the region in which they are taught. Please register for classes located in the region in which you wish to landscape.
Click through to the class list to find a class and register. Additional classes may be added later in the fall.
Classes are intended to be useful both to homeowners and professionals. Classes include both classroom instruction and fieldwork, with an emphasis on helping students become familiar with the identification and use of specific plants native to their region. Students will see native plants in their natural habitat, illustrating their use in the landscape.
CEUs are now offered by the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association. Some Texas Master Naturalist and Texas Master Gardener chapters count classes as advanced training hours.
