Grow Native! Master Class: Practical Magic for Pondscapes
February 15 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm CST
Ponds and other small, permanent water features attract more wildlife than any other native landscape practice. Understanding the difference between native wetland, marginal, and emergent aquatic plants is the key to healthy, thriving, and stable water features full of diversity and free of mosquitoes.
Scott Woodbury led development of the Whitmire Wildflower Garden at Shaw Nature Reserve for 30 years. Scott currently teaches Native Landscape Practices, a course at St. Louis Community College. He is also a regular speaker, writer, and consultant on native landscaping throughout the region. He received a BS degree in horticulture at the University of Wisconsin – Madison and has worked at various public gardens including the Whitmire Wildflower Garden at Shaw Nature Reserve, Tudor Place in Washington D.C., Old Westbury Gardens in New York, Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, and Castello Di Uzzano in Florence, Italy. Scott currently serves as advisor to the horticulture program of St. Louis Community College, Grow Native!, and Wild Ones St. Louis. Scott serves on the planning committees for the Partners for Native Landscaping conference and the small grants programs for the Deer Creek Watershed Alliance and MSD Project Clear.
