Going Wild in the Lansing Area


Our first meeting of 2012 should get us all thrilled about the past accomplishments of our Red Cedar Chapter and excited about the possibilities of the coming year.

Your club contributed grant money to three gardens in 2011. Hear a little about their efforts to add natives to the local landscape. There are also two ongoing projects for you to get involved in (Lansing Rain Gardens and Fenner Landscaping) and we will hear of a possible new one for this year.

After this program we should all be elated with our efforts to add native plants in our area and energized to get us going forward in the new year. The meeting begins at 7 pm at Fenner Nature Center, 2020 East Mt Hope Road, Lansing. We look forward to seeing you there.
