Program Description: We all know native plants are good choices to improve resilience and support pollinators in our gardens. But do you know the difference between natives, nativars, cultivars, and hybrids? Does it matter which you choose when you are trying to sustain local biodiversity, support wildlife, and still have a beautiful garden?

Shelby Singleton Jackson, a NC Certified Plant Professional and Horticulturist at Carolina Native Nursery in Burnsville, is passionate about native plants. She will talk to us about natives, nativars, and hybrids; help us understand the differences and why it matters; and give us some suggestions for our native plant choices.
