Details

Join us for a special program with a panel of experts answering your questions! You may be wondering about such issues as how to add native plants to existing landscaping, how to remove non-native plants, which plants to pick, or how to deal with pests. Bring your questions to get some expert advice. Our panel consists of: Craig Schafer, Beth Martin, and Chuck Martin. Craig is a Wild Ones Member and Owner of Hoffman Farms Native Plant Nursery in Kochville Township in Saginaw County. He has been growing native flowers, grasses, sedges, trees and shrubs for 6 years and has planted thousands of them in his own backyard ecosystem. Chuck Martin is a senior horticulturist retired from Dow Gardens. He and Beth Martin have created a Conservation@Home yard certified by Little Forks Conservancy.

This program will take place at the Chippewa Nature Center, 400 S. Badour Road, Midland, MI. Meet at the Visitor Center. The public is welcome to attend.

This program is brought to you by the Wild Ones Mid-Mitten Chapter, part of a member-based national organization whose mission promotes environmentally-sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities. The Mid-Mitten Chapter is based in Midland, Bay, Saginaw, and Isabella counties. It meets monthly typically on the second Monday, and welcomes new members.
