Webinar/Event Summary:
Matt Kolodzie, proprietor of Friendly Natives Nursery, will share 25 tips from his 25 years
of working with native plants.

Hybrid Event Description:  “There are hundreds of wonderful Texas natives in Texas, but trying to figure out which ones do the best in your particular area of Gillespie County, can take time,” noted Kolodzie. “I’m going to share with you what I’ve learned in the last 25 years so you can shorten your learning curve, be more successful faster, and save money.”

“Planting natives in the Hill Country is a lot different from gardening in Dallas or Houston,” added Deborah Simmons, president of the Fredericksburg Chapter of NPSOT. “And with our current drought, even people who’ve lived here a long time are facing challenges. Everyone makes mistakes while they’re trying to figure it all out, but with Matt’s tips, hopefully you’ll make fewer mistakes along the way.”

Kolodzie began Friendly Natives in 1998 as a landscape design and build operation, working in the suburbs north of Dallas. In 2008, he found a piece of property in Fredericksburg and opened Friendly Natives nursery, where he consults with clients on landscape design using native and adapted plants, garden refurbishments, and ongoing organic-based maintenance in Fredericksburg and Gillespie County.
