Abstract

A 2-hour national satellite video program that was produced by the University of Minnesota Extension and University of Wisconsin Extension. This educational program includes several on-site videos from native locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Expect horticulturists are shown with native plants in several locations including the Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden, Minneapolis, MN and the Curtis Prairie at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Call in questions from the live program are included as well as a packet of educational information with plant lists and recommendations for growing native plants in the Eastern deciduous woodland, prairie, wetland or lakeshore areas, and in traditional garden settings.
