Work Day at Jan Smith Park

Public Welcome Free Event Hands-On/How-To Workshop
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. We have a great opportunity to help with weeding out quack grass and other invasives in this beautiful park and learn about native plants while we work. Please join us! Jan and other experienced members will be there to help you learn the native plants and the weeds.
