Join us at the Elkhart Environmental Center on Thursday, September 14th to get to know the Wild Ones! On behalf of Wild Ones South Bend, local naturalist Jan McGowan will explain the many benefits of using native plants in our yards and gardens. Guests will learn what is a native plant, and the various ways natives support healthy soils, climate, pollinators, birds and humans. Guests will also discover how and why native plants save gardeners time, money and effort.
Unfortunately, most of the plants available in nurseries are not “native.” This presentation will explain how to find native plants for your landscaping needs. It will also share resources for garden planning, locally and on the internet. Hope to see you there!
Registration is $1 per person. Pre-registration is required and limited.
