Native plants are beautiful, low maintenance, ecologically beneficial and bestow a distinct sense of place to cultivated landscapes. This class will guide students in planning a native garden to serve multiple purposes, including great native species for cut flowers, ornamental value, edible gardens, butterfly host plants, and more!


Sarah Coury co-owns Saturnia Farm in Weaverville, NC, which specializes in holistic production of specialty perennials and native plants. In January 2023, she also began a new role as Garden Manager at the Botanical Gardens at Asheville. Sarah's background is in wildlife conservation, and her passion is creating multi-use garden spaces that provide both high habitat value for flora and fauna, and the healing qualities of beauty for people.

Ben Pick grew up in Asheville and has been deeply influenced by his time in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Since graduating from NC State University in Horticulture Design, he has traveled and gained experience in many different gardens. He now runs a small garden services company, Meadow Edge LLC, and also co-owns a specialty plant nursery, Saturnia Farm, in Weaverville, North Carolina.
