Events

This meeting will be devoted to all things Heather Holm, which by extension is all things pollinators!  Heather is a biologist, pollinator conservationist and award winning author of four books.  Her website, www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com, contains a wealth of knowledge.

We would like for attendees to spend some time before the meeting exploring and learning from Heather's website resources. The meeting format will be a round table to share our new knowledge and discoveries.

If you don't have time for exploration beforehand that's okay too!  

Join Joey Santore, creator of Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t, for a candid Wild Ones National Webinar examining how inherited garden aesthetics shape native plant landscapes. Drawing on field experience and real ecology, Joey challenges tidy design norms and explores why dense, irregular plant communities are often the most resilient and ecologically sound.

Join other native plants enthusiasts to ask questions and share info. Whether your yard is completely native or you are just getting started on your native plant journey, come join others for some plant talk and good drinks!

Join us to learn more about the Priority Plant Patrol and how you can help with early detection of five watch list invasive terrestrial plant species in Michigan.

In this 1 hour round table meeting we want to hear all about what you are doing to get ready for planting season. What plants are on your shopping list this year? Why are they on your list? Are you creating new native plant garden beds or adding to old? Are you faced with any challenges you are hoping to resolve?

After the round table, plan to stay around until noon if you are interested in helping with the Wild Ones+League of Women Voters native plant garden at the library. Hopefully we will get to take a site visit and start design discussions.

** This will be our last library meeting until November. We will continue with outdoor activities until then. If you have ideas for hikes or other activities please share them with us at [email protected].
