10:00am-11:00am - Presentation by Cindi Martineau, Professional Michigan Native Plant Grower.
Cindi Martineau is a native plant hobbyist and professional. She has been growing plants from seed since she was a child and native plants for over a decade, adding woodland plants in the last five years.
Cindi currently works at two native plant nurseries and previously worked at Michigan Wildflower Farm. Her yard is a pollinator and wildlife sanctuary, except for slugs. She enjoys helping people get started with native plants.
Cindi will be talking about shade-loving, woodland natives. What are the best woodland natives to bring into your landscape and how can you properly care for them? Bring your questions!
