Ingrid Thiessen will present: Landscape Design Incorporating Indigenous Prairie Plants.

Ingrid Thiessen is a retired landscape architect with an interest in native plants. She is a long-time member of the Regina Horticulture Society, Nature Regina, and the Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan

 Throughout her career she Ingrid experimented with native plants. An ecology professor was an early key catalyst and then she was encouraged by many people, including her husband, who said, you must attend Prairie Conservation Action Plan conferences.

Working in small native plant projects, and watching plants either fail or survive gives Ingrid a unique perspective.

She has attended Pollinator Partnership lectures which has improved her understanding of the connection between plants and pollinators. Ingrid’s photo presentation will provide design methods to consider when using native plants in your yard from container plants to acreage considerations.

This is an in-person class at St Paul’s Cathedral at 7:00pm, open to the public.  Members can email info@reginahortsociety.ca for a zoom link. Members no fee, non-members $5.00

Looking ahead to our February 25 educational.

February 25, 2026. Note this is on a Wednesday night, for a change.

Lesley is our newest sponsor and we welcome her support and expertise.
