Long-time member of Wild Ones, Jan Smith, has created a native landscape in a public park which has been described as a native plant museum. The Carol Stream Park District has honored Jan by giving the park her name.
In June our group helped with planting new natives on the berm. This month our focus will be on weeding to give the new plants breathing room. If you can, please bring containers of water for watering plants, your weeding tools, and a tarp or blanket for collecting weeds and/or sitting on during breaks.
