Urban Prairie Garden

Looking to trade your traditional lawn for native flowers and grasses? Join Aric Sampson from Driftless Area Natives for a conversation on how using native plants in your landscape not only benefits our local ecology, but also helps to beautify neighborhoods with sustainable urban landscapes! With an emphasis on using keystone species to support the greatest number of critters; this talk will give you the practical tips, resources, and information needed to convert your yards into lower maintenance,  biologically diverse habitats.
