On Saturday, October 25, from 9 am to 1 pm, the Door County Master Gardeners Association will host a fall seminar. This event will feature two presentations and include lunch.
The first presentation, Native Shrubs and Trees for the Birds and Bees, teaches about the rich diversity of woody plants native to the upper Midwest and the benefits of incorporating them into a home landscape to help attract and sustain a diversity of bird and pollinator species. David Garison Stevens, Ed Hasselkus, Curator–Longenecker Horticultural Gardens at the UW-Madison Arboretum and an Honorary Associate Fellow, UW-Madison Department of Horticulture, will present.
The second presentation, Why Monarchs Need Volcanoes, teaches about the importance of the sanctuaries where monarch butterflies overwinter. The temperate fir forests that cradle the butterflies sit atop high peaks of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt. Emily Stone, Naturalist and Education Director at the Cable Natural History Museum, will present.
