Here everyone, but especially the children, will learn about native plants that have grown in this area for thousands of years, while getting a close-up view of butterflies, songbirds, and other creatures that use the plants for food or shelter. Site preparation will be provided by staff and volunteers near our picnic pavilion #2.
Members of the community are invited to participate in this project.
Seeds for Education grants include technical assistance and advice from local experts.
The grants honor Lorrie Otto who originated the modern era of school garden projects in the 1970s in the Milwaukee area.
Earth Tones, LLC, a local native plant nursery, will partner with Wild Ones to supply plants at a discount.
