Low Maintenance Landscaping w/Local Heirloom and Native Plants
Join our outstanding speakers and specialists in their fields, MGGNO Master Gardener and Landscape Horticulturist Tammany Baumgarten, Gulf District Chairman of Old Garden Rose and Shrub Peggy Martin, and state Vegetable Extension Specialist Dr. Kiki Fontenot, as they discuss plants suitable for your home garden. At check out, you will have an opportunity to pre-order event merchandise (heirloom and native plants, brocolli plants and a vegetable gardening book) that will not be for sale at the symposium.
Landscaping with Native Plants. Because native plants evolved in our part of the world, they are acclimated to our weather patterns and soil conditions, and are not as prone to disease issues. Learn about many fuss-free native plants that can be used to make your gardens beautiful, resilient and easier to care for.
Landscaping with Local Heirloom Plants. Non-native heirlooms such as crinum, Shi Shi Gashira camellia (an LSU Louisiana Super Plant), sweet olive, fig, foxtail fern, and Chinese fringe tree have adapted to Louisiana’s growing conditions and are freeze and heat tolerant, have few diseases, require little pruning and are available locally. Hear the ‘Peggy Martin Rose’ story and learn how to grow and maintain this found rose.
Local Vegetables and Herbs. Low maintenance vegetables do exist. The key to lower maintenance is (1) choosing the ideal location, (2) selecting the correct varieties, and (3) constructing the garden in a manner to reduce size without reducing yields. Learn about which vegetable crops are easier to maintain than others, pest reducing production practices, and what we can grow easily right here in Louisiana.
