Pam Todd Presents "Wildly Beneficial" at OPRF Garden Club 

Free and open to the public!

The Oak Park and River Forest Garden Club is hosting this presentation given by Pam Todd, President of WCWO.  This presentation will give participants an overview of the beauty and utility of Illinois's wildflowers. Native plants are valuable in designed landscapes because they offer so many benefits by:

Solving landscaping difficulties
Reducing landscape maintenance 
Sequestering carbon
Supporting local ecosystems and biodiversity
Providing beautiful and healthy environments for clients and employees

Participants will learn how they can install their own native plant/butterfly gardens or add native plants to existing gardens.  They will also learn how to become part of the West Cook Wild Ones Native Garden Corridor in Oak Park and River Forest.

 
There is a membership meeting at 12 pm.  Presentation by Pam begins at 1 pm.
