Foundation Gardens and Native Plants from Kathy Connolly

Kathy Connolly is a landscape designer who specializes in naturalized designs, low-impact techniques, and native plants. She recently spoke before the Norwalk Garden Club on the topic of how to design gardens using current thinking regarding the growning fire risks in the Northeast to residential properties. Creating a fire-resistant zone around a home by using plant material that has low combustibility can create both a safe and attractive landscape environment. Her recommended list of native plants is a “must-have” for those gardeners who would like to create a more sustainable landscape.
