Join the Oklahoma Native Plant Network for The Welcoming Garden Speaker Series: Creating Natural Spaces and Coexisting with Wildlife, an inspiring evening dedicated to building healthier landscapes and learning how to live in harmony with the wildlife around us. This special event features nationally recognized authors Heather Holm and Nancy Lawson, two leading voices in ecological gardening and wildlife-friendly practices.
