ROCKFORD, Ill. (WIFR) – Wild Ones of Rock River Valley, in partnership with Severson Dells Nature Center, hosted a workshop on Sunday to give area residents the knowledge needed to start a native plant garden of their own.
The hands-on experience, titled Sustainability Workshop: Plan a Native Garden with Wild Ones, took place March 15 at the Severson Dells Nature Center, 8786 Montague Rd. in Rockford.
Attendees learned about the steps they should take to transform their yard into a haven for native wildlife, as well as the benefits native gardens bring to the area.
Participants even left with sample garden plans to put toward their new projects.
