Join Pat Johnston for a presentation on Native Plant Gardening. Pat will talk about the benefits of using native plants on our properties, show photographs of native plants, discuss how to garden with native plants as well as show photographs of native plant gardens.

She has also partnered with Victoria Capital Regional District’s Water Department, Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary and other community organizations to facilitate over 200 Native Plant Gardening Workshops.
