Going Native: A Workshop on Planting with Fresh Eyes

On a Sunday afternoon in July 2023, Nicholas Anderson, Cape Ann ecological land manager, and David Newsom of the Wild Yards Project shared their bountiful wisdom about how to create resilient, replicable landscapes to an enthusiastic group of workshop participants who pulled up their sleeves and helped start a native plant nursery at the Manship Artists Residency. In this hands-on workshop, they learned about innumerable species of native plants while discovering charismatic and ecologically beneficial combinations that will lay the groundwork to face the effects of climate change on our gardens.
