    Join instructor Ken LeRoy, horticulturist and co-owner of Green Earth Gardens.  Native trees and shrubs help create beautiful low maintenance landscapes while providing abundant wildlife habitat. Starting with trees and working from “the top down” helps us understand which plant communities are characterized by the dominance of particular trees and shrubs. Understanding these relationships allows us to be able to reproduce native plant communities and create effective habitat gardens. In this overview of native Pennsylvania trees you will learn how to identify them by examining flowers, bark, leaves, and habit. Tree lover Ken LeRoy will take you on a tour of the Morris Arboretum focusing on native trees and shrubs and providing identification tips. He will discuss fruiting and flowering times and how these native plants are best used in the landscape. He will also talk about potentially invasive trees commonly used in the home landscape.
