On Saturday, June 4, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, we're installing our new prairie garden with plants generously donated by John & Katha Chamberlain. Genevieve Brand from Seed to Site will guide volunteers through planting, as well as labeling, watering, and mulching. Tools will be provided, but please bring your gloves.
