Irvine invites you to attend our annual Native Plant Seminar & Sale, held each August. The seminar features three dynamic speakers who are noted experts in their field. In addition, three post-seminar workshops are offered in the afternoon. This seminar provides an opportunity for nursery and landscape professionals, land managers, garden club and native plant society members, environmental educators, homeowners, and others to increase their knowledge about native vegetation, sustainable practices, and the conservation of our native landscapes.

Throughout the day, our Native Plant Sale, featuring a dozen of the region’s finest native nurseries, provides an opportunity to learn more about species native to the Piedmont region and to purchase a wide selection of top quality native plant material. Seminar registrants are admitted to the plant sale one hour early.

The 2008 Native Plant Seminar & Sale will be held on Saturday, August 23. The Sale, Workshops and lunch will all occur at Irvine's new facility in Owings Mills. The Seminar will occur at Garrison Forest School.
