Interested in creating a Homegrown National Park? Not sure why it matters, how to begin…or what a “Homegrown National Park” even is?

On April 15, Master Naturalist and Watershed Steward Alison Milligan will explain how this grassroots movement is bringing the life-preserving powers of national parks to communities across the country. She’ll outline how they can solve common landscaping problems while protecting the watershed, restoring biodiversity and adding value to your home. Using plants native to the Mid-Atlantic, she’ll walk through multiple before-and-after examples that illustrate the beauty of native flora and fauna.
