Native plants don’t have to be boring! On Saturday, June 29, from 10 a.m. to noon, Adam Wheeler, horticulture manager of Broken Arrow Nursery, will explore the unique and exceptional aspects of our native flora. Adam will present his current favorite native trees and shrubs for general garden use, including design considerations, cultural requirements and other critical details, with a special emphasis given to unusual variation and unexpected use.  Adam will bring an assortment of fun plants and offer a mini plant sale.
