| WHAT: In 1978, the Brandywine Conservancy published a ground-breaking book on gardening with native plants. Landscaping with Native Plants by Elizabeth N. du Pont encouraged gardeners and designers to take advantage of the many benefits of using native plants. The book explained basic—yet, at the time, not widely known—concepts such as micro-climate, plant community and plant succession while pointing out the advantages of growing plants in harmony with the environment.
Now, after being out-of-print for many years, Landscaping with Native Plants has been published by the Conservancy in a second edition. This new edition reflects advancements in biodiversity conservation, invasive species management and more.
