  • PDF of PowerPoint Slides
  • Native Plant List from Minnesota DNR
  • Link to an article about Nativars  
  • More Phenology  Planting Tips ​
  • UW Soil and Forage Lab - link for soil tests (note as of 3/23/20 tests are suspended due to COVID-19)
  • Some additional recommendations on reading: 
    • Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teaching of Plants  by Robin Wall Kimmerer  It’s a bit of a cultural exploration of the relationship between plants, animals, the earth and humans.  More like essays than a look up info book.
    • Grow Native, Lynn Steiner  This author writes and provides recommendations on how to incorporate natives into our gardens. 
    • Bringing Nature Home and Nature's Best Hope, Doug Tallamy
    • The Living Landscape, Dick Darke and Doug Tallamy

This program covered what, when and where to cultivate native plants that provide food for butterflies, song birds, hummingbirds and beneficial insects.   By using your observations you can know the best time for planting, the blooming cycles of plants, and the emergence of insect pests.  All will help you become a more natural gardener.
