Vincent Simeone will present "Native Plants for a Bird-Friendly Habitat"
There has long been a debate between the virtues of native plants vs.
exotic species. Many worthwhile native trees, shrubs, perennials, and
groundcovers have gone ignored to put more emphasis on plants with Asian or
European nativity. Many native plants can provide ornamental benefits and
function in the landscape. Because these plants are native, they will thrive
in our climate where sited correctly and support native wildlife. This
presentation will dispel the notion that native plants are not as
interesting in the landscape as exotics.
Vincent Simeone is an experienced lecturer, instructor and
horticultural consultant. For the past 18 years Vincent has worked in public
horticulture at Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park in New York
where he is the Director. He has written and contributed to various
gardening articles for magazines and newspapers including the Long Island
based newspaper, Newsday. Since 2005 he has published six books. Also in
2010, Vincent was named Man of the Year by the Long Island Nursery and
Landscape Association. In 2014 Vincent was awarded the centurion award by
Farmingdale State College as the top 100 alumni over the past century. In
2015, was awarded the distinguished arborists award from the NYS
Arborists-ISA chapter.
