The Friends of Menominee Shore will have native plants for purchase the next three Saturdays, helping to raise funds for programming and helping to spread the use of natives in the community.
The plant list includes: Sky Blue Aster, Bergamot, Royal Catchfly, Blue Flag Iris, Ohio Spiderwort, Marsh Blazing Star, Nodding Pink Onion, Pale Purple Coneflower, and Purple Coneflower. Plant prices are $3-$5, with every purchase of $20 receiving a free Bergamot grown at the shoreland restoration site.
