A joint program of Brandywine Conservancy’s Native Plant Series and Stewardship Series
Grow beauty with purpose. Join Jennie Love, owner of Love ‘n Fresh Flowers as she reviews the tenants of regenerative growing practices for thoughtful land stewardship as well as the value of incorporating natives in the gardening landscape. Explore a curated list of native plants ideal for cutting, hear tips for growing them, and learn about the ecological benefits they provide. The program wraps with time for your questions.
About the presenter
Jennie started Love ‘n Fresh Flowers, a regenerative flower farm located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2009. This vibrant five-acre flower farm is dedicated to stewarding a healthy ecosystem for creatures of all shapes and sizes. They focus on growing cut flowers and foliage, specializing in native and perennial crops. Since then, her work has been featured in the New York Times, Martha Stewart Weddings, Country Gardens, The Philadelphia Inquirer, and elsewhere. Read more about Jennie and her farm.
This event is open to the public and may be recorded. It is a "pay what you wish" program with proceeds covering presenter fees and supporting Brandywine Conservancy’s education and stewardship initiatives. Registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Thank you for considering a donation.
The annual Native Plant Series offers a varied focus on native plants throughout the seasons for gardeners of all levels and learning styles. The 2026 “Misunderstood Natives” theme aims to explore diverse perceptions of native plants, inviting audiences to see them through a new lens—one that offers fresh insights and practical tools for understanding the value native species bring to people, wildlife, and the places we live.
The Stewardship Series hosts educational programs on land management challenges, and other topics of interest to easement landowners. Topics may include ecosystem restoration, invasive species management, incorporating best management practices (BMPs), farm management, programs to assist landowners, such as the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP).
All are welcome to attend.
