Native Plant 101: Every Yard a Refuge

Every Yard a Refuge | Friday, September 12 | 6-8 PM

Our yards can serve as an important refuge for native plants and the wildlife that depend on them.

Matt Dykstra, of the Calvin Ecosystem Preserve and Native Gardens, will provide an introduction to native plant gardening. The program will cover why native gardens are important, how to establishing a garden at your home, and common challenges that new native plant gardeners encounter. The program will include a tour of the plants available for sale.

Participants can select any one perennial plant to take home as part of the program, and will be able to purchase other plants ahead of the main sale on Saturday.

Cost: $20, program limited to 25 participants
