Carol Peoples from the NC Native Plant Society will give a presentation about Native Plants and Pollinators on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, from 6:00 P.M.-7:00 P.M. at the Onslow County Extension Office, 4024 Richlands Highway, Jacksonville, NC 28540.

The free event is open to the public.

Can our home landscapes be beautiful and support biodiversity? Conventional landscaping often prioritizes static visual appeal, relying on expanses of lawn and non-native plants that offer little to wildlife.

The first 50 people to register and attend will receive a free native plant.
