Living Mulch: An eco-smart technique to replace wood mulch, suppress weeds, retain moisture

Do you wish you could eliminate wood mulch in your gardens? If so, this event is for you! During this presentation, you&#x27;ll learn more about native plants used as living mulches, including benefits, species selection, implementation, and potential challenges.&quot;Living mulch,&quot; also known as green mulch, is using plants to fill in spaces between other plants. These plants are usually short, spreading ground cover that occupy the lowest herbaceous niche in a garden, a niche that is often occupied by abiotic (wood, rock) mulches in more traditional garden design.Kaitlyn O&#x27;Connor is a native plant enthusiast from the Driftless Region of Minnesota. In her professional role as a Plant Ecologist at ISG, she is responsible for integrating habitat restoration and biodiversity into the built environment to enhance ecological and sustainable design goals. Her past work as an educator and consultant for Prairie Moon Nursery and University of Wisconsin Extension has given her extensive knowledge on conservation, horticulture, native landscape design, and restoration. Outside of her professional life, she considers herself a homesteader and keeps busy with gardening, food preservation, and tending to her small flock of chickens.
