Native planting started about 30 years ago. There is approximately an acre of native forbs and grasses that are home to over 150 species of native plants. Visiting all the areas and walking all the path could take a couple of hours. There are tall and short grass prairies and a woodland. In front of the house, both sides of the roadside have been planted with natives.
Feel free to bring a friend that may be interested in natural areas or restoration.
Stay for a BYO picnic at Noon and conversation. Tables, chairs and drinks will be provided.
Park in the driveway area or on the north side of Childs Street (but not on the plants).
