Next Door County Master Gardeners lecture. Free and open to the public.
Sturgeon Bay, Wis. (March 19, 2024) – Many gardeners in Door County are interested in using more native plants because they provide food for insects, birds, bats, small mammals and other wildlife, but they’re unsure how to successfully use these plants. At the next Door County Master Gardeners Educational Lecture, Justin Kroening, owner of Stone Silo Prairie Gardens, will explore how to solve Door County landscape problems with native plants.
The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be in-person at Crossroads at Big Creek on Tuesday, March 26, at 6:30 p.m.
The 2024 DCMGA Educational Lecture Series is being presented with support from the Door County Medical Center. The Kroening lecture is presented in collaboration with Crossroads at Big Creek and Wild Ones of the Door Peninsula.
