Third Annual Garlic Mustard Party
Saturday May 8, 9:00 a.m.
Peninsula Park

Our chapter has adopted a particularly critical section of Peninsula Park located directly below Sven’s Bluff in order to prevent Garlic Mustard from spreading into a spectacular habitat of Dutchman’s Breeches, Bulblet Ferns and other beauties. Working in that special place in the past two years has been instructive, pleasant and rewarding. The area is easily accessible and does not necessarily require walking off-trail.
Meet inside the park at the Fish Creek entrance. Courtesy day passes will be available. If you use gloves they need to be thin and pliable. Depending on our effectiveness in prior years the work will require 2 or 3 hours.

“Wetland Plants in Midsummer”
By popular request we will revisit the DCLT’s “Three Springs” preserve. Marilyn Hansotia will be our guide. She is well prepared since she guided a tour to this special place for the Festival of Nature. We will focus on the plant communities in the spring-fed wetlands and expect to get some useful ideas for our rain gardens and wet areas.

“Total Native Installation in First Year”
Bob and Allison Greaves installed a geothermal heating system and subsequently had their lot on Memorial Drive in Sturgeon Bay planted with native vegetation last year. We will see the effect of professional planning and planting. Learn how to construct and nurture a new planting, specifically in an urban location. As an added attraction for those interested Bob will demonstrate the geothermal installation.
