Online registration is open through March 10 for The Native Plant Center’s 2022 Spring Landscape Conference, The New Green Yard: Climate-Wise Practices and Solutions. The conference will take place virtually March 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Participants will learn how to transform their yards into beneficial landscapes that reduce carbon use with the addition of native plantings and sustainable maintenance methods. Americans’ lawns and gardens account for millions of acres of land. With best practices in planting and maintenance, these yards can help the climate and their communities.

Featured speakers are Paul Tukey, a journalist, filmmaker and former HGTV host, and the author of The Organic Lawn Care Manual; Jay Archer, president of Green Jay Landscaping, in Rye; and Daniel J. Mabe, CEO and founder of American Green Zone Alliance.
