Organizational Meeting Press Release
To anyone who's noticed that the only thing moving in most landscapes is a lawnmower, it may be time to consider growing a natural and native landscape. While learning about native plants and the restoration of native landscapes is fun, getting started and keeping going usually works better if you're not all alone.
If you're interested in a great alternative to the all-American lawn, attracting more birds and other wildlife to your lawn, and learning to recognize and eradicate invasive alien plant species, you are invited to attend a meeting to organize a local chapter of Wild Ones Natural Landscapers (Wild Ones).
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Date: Wednesday, October 9
Location: Chanhassen Library
7711 Kerber Avenue Chanhassen Minnesota.
