Are you passionate about green spaces, eager to learn new gardening skills, or curious about making native plants shine in your home landscape? Join us for this free program. Registration is required by calling the library at 815-544-3838.
Native plants are typically defined as vegetation growing wild in an undisturbed area at the time that scientific records began. Specific climate, soils, and other environmental factors, define a plant's native range. Our area is fortunate enough to have a large diversity of both prairie and forest plants that call central Illinois home.
In recent years, gardening with natives has become quite popular and often makes sense when considering the sustainability of our landscapes. This program is led by a certified Boone County Master Gardener.
If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in programming, please call Jan at 815-544-3710.
