“Design Considerations – Functionality of Plants in a Garden”

4:44 pm News

James Dillon of Native Havens, LLC has shared his Design Considerations-Functionality of Plants in a Garden presentation and his plant list. Thank you James!


James Dillon, PCH  has been studying plants and working in the landscaping industry for over 15 years.  He studied Biology at East Carolina University gaining a B.S. in Biology and Chemistry.  In his studies he developed an appreciation for the benefits of diverse plantings and how they foster beneficial insects, bring birds to the landscape and ultimately require less pesticides and maintenance. While gardens have a beneficial effect on wildlife, the effect some plantings have on the human psyche can be profound.
