Fall in Love in the Prairie
February 13 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm UTC-4
We all love the Gottfried Prairie and Arboretum, a hidden gem in Fond du Lac County! It is a place for visitors to enjoy solitude, quiet time, and observe nature. The Gottfried Prairie has over 78 identified species of native forbs (flowers) plus native grasses and sedges. Most of these species originated from the last prairie remnants around Fond du Lac County
Do you want to create your own small or large prairie? Or just learn about native forbs, grasses, and sedges?
Join Margie Winter, Friends of the Gottfried board member and native plant specialist, on February 13th from 6:30-7:30 pm to learn more about these wonderful gifts from nature and how you can grow them in your yard.
Prairies and native plants provide:
- Wildlife habitat-home to grassland birds, butterflies and many other beneficial insects.
- Protect and enhance species diversity.
- The grass and wildflower root systems help to rebuild our soils.
You will also learn about the beautiful native plants we have available during our annual native plant sale going on mid-February to end of March.
This class is FREE! To help us determine the number of people interested, please RSVP to info@gottfriedprairiearboretum.org. Thank you!
