Speakers: Sue Reindollar and Barb Glassel from the Madison Chapter of Wild Ones

Join Sue Reindollar and Barb Glassel from the Madison Chapter of Wild Ones to learn how to start your own prairie garden. Wild Ones encourages and promotes the use of native plants in landscaping, gardening, naturescaping and land restoration in Southern Wisconsin for purposes of preserving biodiversity and ecosystems and personal enjoyment.

Sue and Barb will provide information on planting a prairie garden including preparing the soil, choosing the plants and maintaining the garden.  We will walk through the conservancy and observe the spring prairie plants emerging in the six different prairies. Bring your camera and prairie garden questions to this event.

And remember these words of wisdom from Wild Ones:  It only takes one milkweed to be a home for a monarch caterpillar.  Have you planted yours yet?

This presentation is free and open to the public – no registration is necessary.
