Native plants are adapted to this region’s soils and climate, and require little maintenance once established. They are a valuable food source for many insects and birds that many ornamental plants cannot provide. Native plants have strong, extensive root systems that help rainwater infiltrate deep into the soil and protect the soil from erosion. Wildflowers and grasses can also enhance the beauty of any landscape.
The Berrien County Conservation District in conjunction with Love Creek Nature Center will be hosting a Native Plant Presentation on Saturday, March 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. Vern Stephens from Designs by Nature Nursery will discuss native plant characteristics and care, picking the right plant, and more. Questions are welcome.
Love Creek Nature Center is located at 9292 Huckleberry Road, Berrien Center. Park fees will be waived to presentation attendees. The event is free. Seating is limited and registration is required.
Please call 269-471-9111 x3 and leave a message or email nancy.carpenter@macd.org by March 9 to reserve a seat.
