GO WILD! with Native Plants Workshop 2025
March 8, 2025
|
Dr. Oberhauser was very informative and I know that we all have a much better understanding on the plight of Monarch butterflies. Her exceptional background, research, and lifelong dedication to conservation make her an expert in the field, and we were so happy to have her here.
A big thank you also goes to Justin Kroening of Stone Silo Prairie Gardens who spoke on the best ways to get native gardens established. And to our own Bob Dumke who talked on his experiences in establishing a native habitat on a landfill site near here. It was a great morning and we're ready for spring. Anytime now! |
