Tuesday, April 11, 6-7 p.m. LIVE at Teton County Library (no Zoom)
Governor Gordon has declared April Wyoming Native Plant Month. Come celebrate the coming of spring with a bouquet of presentations on native plants. Kimberly McMorrow of the Garden Club of America and local plant enthusiast will discuss the national effort to raise awareness of native plants, the governor’s proclamation, and an interactive Wyoming native plant poster. She will also describe her efforts to plant over 4,500 natives at Teton Pines. Jasmine Cutter, Native Seed Lead, Grand Teton National Park, will further our awareness of local pollinators. What insects are aiding which native plants to produce seeds: what are the strategies of the plants and the pollinators to achieve these vital connections? Morgan Graham, Teton Conservation District, will provide tips for plants and planting, as well as the TCD’s resources, to encourage you to incorporate natives in your garden landscapes. We will provide a handout of references and contacts.
This program is live only at the library. Time for us to enjoy each other’s company and meet our native plant leaders in person.
