Session 5 (Virtual): Plants of the Open Landscape: Meadows, Old Fields & Shrublands
Thursday, December 15, noon – 3:30 p.m. CST
In this session, native plant authority Ian Caton will examine plants of the open landscape that exemplify the ecological characteristics described by Larry Weaner in previous sessions. His presentation will span the successional period from herbaceous meadow, to mixed woody/ herbaceous old field, to the ecologically important but often neglected clonal shrub thicket. He will also present a group of “workhorse” native species for the sunlit landscape that combine reliability and weed suppression with attractive aesthetic character.
Speaker: Ian Caton
