Designing with Native Plants
with James Dillon
Thursday, January 19, 2023 • 7:00 pm

FREE for members, $10 non member donation

Landscape designer and horticulturalist James Dillon views
landscape design as the integration of science, nature and
art. In his talk, he will show us how to meld all of that
together with native plants to create a beautiful garden.
Dillon, PCH is a Certified Horticulturist with more than
20 years of experience working in the green industry. With
a B.Sc. in Biology from East Carolina University, he views
landscape design as the integration of science, nature and
art.


He practiced horticulture in the northern Delaware area,
most notably at the Delaware Center for Horticulture, with
continuing education at Longwood Gardens. Previously, as
manager and buyer of woody plants for a diversified garden
center in Chambersburg, PA, James became familiar with a
large palette of native plants and plant cultivars.


Native plant selection, environmental benefits, and low
maintenance gardens are emphasized in many designs.
James has designed several rain gardens and continues
taking coursework on ecological landscape design. James
enjoys volunteering for The Monarch Alliance (a PVAS
program), designing Monarch waystation gardens for them,
in Maryland and West Virginia.


Mr. Dillon owns and operates Native Havens LLC, a small
landscape/gardening company based out of his home, where
he’s an avid gardener in Kearneysville, WV.
