There is a small fee for this event. Naturalist Don Miller will show slides illustrating remnant prairies in Winnebago County. Past Meetings July 1999. In addition to our regular meetings, we hold special events such as these informal tours. The purpose is to give members an opportunity to show off their native plantings and to seek advice from others.
Visitors also get to learn how others use native plants.
Me Day is the exchange of ideas. The discussion is beneficial for the homeowner and the visitor alike. For our third tour this year, we toured two city lots, a former nursery, and a sand prairie under restoration. Members toured all sites or any of them at the appropriate time. Visitors drove to the sites, following a schedule.
