DESCRIPTION:The Wood River Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society (INPS) will host retired University of Idaho extension horticulturist Dr. Stephen Love as he explores the ethics\, opportunities and questions that arise when modifying native plants for use in home landscaping. The free talk will be held on Tuesday\, November 17\, 5:30-6:30 PM at The Community Library\, 415 Spruce Ave\, Ketchum. Cohosted with the Sawtooth Botanical Garden and The Community Library. Native plants in home gardens provide critical support to native pollinators\, help create habits for birds and small mammals and many are drought tolerant. The result is an unprecedented demand for native plants and the nursery trade has increasingly turned to using nativars. Nativars are native plant species selectively bred to enhance specific characteristics considered desirable. Some question if they are equivalent in the home landscape. Dr. Love served on the University of Idaho faculty for 38 years at the Aberdeen Research and Extension Center before retiring in 2023\, conducting research into the domestication of native plants for landscape use. He is the current Vice President and former President of the INPS. Registration requested to join in person at https://thecommunitylibrary.libcal.com.
