Take Native Garden Design to the Next Level
Many gardeners have been adding native plants to their yards and flower beds. More native grasses, shrubs and trees are evident these days. So how can we take our yards and gardens to the next level of “native?” Mike Weis suggests a “new” approach called Garden Ecology. This type of landscaping is purpose-driven, designed to connect our human habitat with nature.
Learn how to dig deeper into “native” from Mike at our public meeting on Saturday, April 11 at 10:00 am in the Matthaei Botanical Gardens auditorium. Admission is $15 per person, with all proceeds supporting Ann Arbor Farm & Garden's annual garden-related grant and scholarship awards.
Mike is the owner of Kalamazoo-based native plant landscape company Dropseed! Native Gardens and Ecological Restoration. He also works seasonally for Hidden Savanna Native Plant Nursery and volunteers as an ecological steward for Southwest Michigan Land Conservancy and Stewards of Kleinstuck. Mike serves on the executive and program committees for Kalamazoo Area Wild Ones (KAWO) and is a board member of Stewards of Kleinstuck. He represents KAWO for the Asylum Lake Preserve Council.
