"Plant These Instead" highlights alternatives to invasive or problem-prone species commonly planted in southern landscapes. This feature of the Plants, Pests, and Pathogens webinar series promotes diversity for a healthy, resilient landscape. It gives tips on using the Extension Gardener Plant Toolbox to find the right plants for your yard.

Master Gardener℠ volunteers help make this series more accessible by editing recording subtitles.
