Thank you to MNPPA!

Wild Ones members have the special opportunity to participate in the creation of this unique project. At our first work session in April, seven of us labored at removing many existing garden plants such as spirea, barberry, daylilies, sedum, chrysanthemums, and cat mint to make room for the new flowering natives.  Over 40 different species of native plants will be displayed in the garden when both phases of the garden are complete next year. Plants such as Culver’s Root, False Sunflower, Meadowsweet, Blazing Star, and Swamp Rose Mallow are just a few of the plants planned to be installed in early June.

Many of the member nurseries of the Michigan Native Plant Producers Association have graciously offered to donate plants for the garden.  We would like to thank the following businesses for their outstanding generosity:  Hidden Savanna Nursery, Sandhill Farms, Plaster Creek Stewards, Mary Ann’s Michigan Trees, Wildtype, Designs by Nature, and Fen View Design, llc.
