Hear about native plants that can be shaped by an expert panel of native plant professionals with experience in the field. This panel is moderated by Janine Griffiths with panelists Eryk Jadazewski, Elizabeth Beans, Isabel Soto and Rebeca Siplak, amd will focus on native plants that can be pruned and shaped into more manicured, clean looking shrubs and trees for more formal landscapes. The following questions will be discussed as they pertain to the 12 native plants listed below – some of which are commonly used in landscapes, some are new or not used as much as they could be.

What are the best techniques, tools, and times to clip, trim, shear, and hedge each of these plants?
