Thank you so much to Kay, Dida, Terri, Mary, Carol and Melissa for your help cleaning up weeds, big branches and clipped plants! Things are looking pretty tidy at the Wildflower Sanctuary, so our upcoming work days will not be until October 8 and 23.
The plant of the week is Bottle Gentian (Gentiana andrewsii). See if you can find them blooming near the dam.
FYI: There is one more plant sale this fall if any of you are interested in buying trees or shrubs. The Conservation Foundation’s Native Tree and Shrub Sale is open for online ordering Monday, September 20th to Friday, October 15th. Order pick-up is on Saturday, October 23rd from 8:30-11:00 am at the McDonald Farm in Naperville, IL.
Look out for the order link at www.theconservationfoundation.org
Have a good weekend!
Sarah
