Native Plants in the Landscape - Millersville University

June 2, 2010, Millersville, PA

The Native Plants in the Landscape Conference Mission: To increase the knowledge, propagation, cultivation and use of native plants in the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions. To promote methods of land management and design that respect "sense of place" by preserving and restoring species and natural processes as well as to engender an appreciation of regionally appropriate, sustainable landscapes that are harmonious for people and nature. While the subject of the conference pertains to native plant communities, the spririt of the conference is to build human communities among a broad range of participants by designing a conference affordable to all, encouraging formal and informal exchanges of information and providing opportunities for social interaction. The conference is held on the campus of Millersville University in picturesque, historic Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

The conference includes a tour of North Creek Nurseries lead by NC staff. As a wholesale propagation nursery, North Creek specializes in growing perennials, ornamental grasses, ferns and vines with an emphasis on Eastern US natives. Guests will learn about vegetated swales, filter strips, living walls, rain gardens and native meadows. A newly installed constructed wetland and an employee-run cooperative vegetable garden round out the adventure.
