Tips and Tricks for Native Gardens
Mennonite Church of Normal, 805 S Cottage Ave, Normal, IL, 61761 Map
This month's program focuses on a variety of topics that relate to natives. Specifically, you will learn about drought-tolerant natives, propagating natives from seeds, and natives for shade. Our presenters are Sherrie Snyder, Robin Vandermay, and Jan Turner. The program will be in a roundtable format, where each presentation is given three times. Attendees rotate from one presentation to another, which allows you to take advantage of each. Please come with your questions about native gardening, even if not specifically related to these topics. We look forward to seeing you!
