Want to Learn More About Native Plant Care?
The Mound Vue Garden Club’s Eco-Gardening/Slow Mow May Committee is sponsoring a free lecture, “Tending Native Plants in your Home Garden,” by Sarah Savage, August 4, 5:30PM in the Mount Horeb Public Library Meeting Room.
This lecture is a part of the Club’s continuing series on year-round sustainable practices for yards and gardens. In this program, attendees will learn how to work with nature to cultivate a garden that benefits humans and wildlife. Show up and get to know our native plants, i.e. when they emerge, what seedlings look like, how they grow and spread, and ways to enhance or manage spread in your space. Learn how you can achieve your garden goals with less work.
Sarah Savage is owner of Tend, a small nursery in Blue Mounds specializing in pollinator-safe native plants for local gardeners.
Sarah believes in gardens that do more than look pretty. With native plants, your yard becomes a refuge for declining birds, butterflies, and bees. Every flower pot and pollinator patch will increase local biodiversity. When you garden for habitat, you get more than beauty, you reconnect to the web of life.
Watch for a follow-up program in early September, an ideal time to begin planning ahead for fall or spring garden design. If you’d like more information, write
