One way to avoid lawn pesticides is to have a wildflower garden:
Hi Suzanne,
The best possible thing that anyone can do for Lake Michigan and the local environment is to make a wildflower garden. On Saturday August 4th, the 29th Lorrie Otto Bus Tour of Wildflower Gardens leaves the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center at 8.30am and returns at 12.30am. It is a transcendental experience to see these lush, blooming mini Edens.
The Schlitz Audubon telephone number is (414)352 2880.
If you are a member of Wild Ones or of the Schlitz Audubon, the tour costs $18 per person. If not it will cost $22 per person.
When lawns are withered and unsightly, native plants are in full bloom - a riot of color and life.
Please would you pass this information on to your blog readers and others. Thanks.
Ney
