Holistic Landscape Design: Considering Nature When Choosing Plants with Mark Konlock, Director of Horticulture, Green Bay Botanical Garden

When designing our home landscapes, we can and should consider the larger ecosystem of our neighborhood and community.  Animals and plants in an ecosystem have evolved to be dependent on each other.  By choosing native plant varieties, we are also choosing plants that will support the most wildlife.  Learn how to blend native plants into your home garden to create not only beauty, but also sustainable habitat.

Join UW-Extension Winnebago County and the Neenah Public Library Monday, April 2nd at 6:00pm for Face to Face Civility. During this session, a member from the Neenah Police Department will provide a presentation on the local impact of the opioid crisis. After his presentation discussion will focus on strategies and policies that communities can take to combat the opioid epidemic. Take advantage of this forum to share your opinions and hear members of your community discuss controversial topics in a civil and polite manner. We are taking the conversation away from social media, and placing it in your hands. No registration necessary.
