A great way to bring a natural touch into your  backyard! Native plants are best adapted to the local climate and once established; seldom need watering, mulching, or protection from frost or continuous mowing. Native plants attract beautiful butterflies, beneficial insects & birds.  

Fitting with this year's EarthFest theme Build Better, Build Green we welcome the community to tour our new green built Prairie House education building.
Seated in the heart of the park, this new classroom was designed to embrace green elements such as solar energy, a pellet fuel furnace, thermal mass floors, a dual flue chimney for chimney swifts and more. 

Jeff Feece, owner and landscape designer at Jeff Feece Designs, will give a presentation on how to build a better, greener garden by using native plants to landscape for butterflies and their pollinator friends.
