Maintaining Native Plant Gardens
Whether a school. a community garden, or your own back yard, native gardens need tending and maintenance.
We’ll cover native ground covers and other design elements to minimize maintenance time. A seasonal maintenance schedule is included in the presentation, and we’ll discuss invasive plants and
aggressive natives, helping you make decisions about when to allow native volunteers to prosper and when to pull. Join us to learn about how to keep your native plant garden looking
great.
Betty Struckhoff became a Master Gardener in 1999 and joined the St. Louis Wild Ones chapter shortly thereafter. She
enjoys teaching and mentoring aspiring native plant landscapers. Since 2007, she has volunteered at the National Museum of Transportation which has wonderful examples of native prairie, a shade
garden and a rain garden. In 2025 she became a Missouri Master Naturalist to further explore all those critters that our native landscapes feed.
