“Good question!” That was Marti Rice’s frequent answer to our myriad inquiries regarding native plants, nonnative plants, pollinators, and more during our annual Earth Day event on Saturday, April 23. (Who knew that native plants don’t need watering or fertilizers?!) In addition to her presentation—during which Marti provided seeds, containers for planting, and numerous resources—we enjoyed made-to-order omelettes, created T-shirt bags, observed a solar oven in action, and cleaned up Browndale Park. Thanks to Marti, Janet Anderson, cooks Neil and Greta Kulevsky, and everyone who contributed to this great event!
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein. —Psalm 24:1
