Our farm co-manager, Mindy Rider, has worked with plants for more than 25 years, as a landscaper, on trail crews and farms, as well as in retail, wholesale, and native plant nurseries all over the United States. Drinkers of the Wind is the proud home of Mindy’s new business, High Desert Roots, celebrating the native and adapted plants of Idaho’s high desert climate.
The Wood River Chapter of the Idaho Native Plant Society invited Mindy to present a free talk on using native plants in the home landscape. The talk will cover:
Why native plants are important in our home landscapes
How to analyze and best utilize your yard and its microclimates
Choosing native plants and how to care for them
Some of her favorite native plants for home landscaping
