As part of our newly established Native Garden Learning Hub, we invite you to explore valuable resources and receive expert guidance from knowledgeable volunteers. Each gathering, weโll feature specialized topics related to native plant gardening, including garden preparation and design, planting for pollinators and other wildlife, native plant propagation, leave the leaves and other maintenance, seed collecting, and much more! To kick off Wisconsin Stormwater Week, this monthโs learning topic will focus on ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฑ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐.
