Auburn Hills Beautification Advisory Commission, 20th Annual Perennial Plant Exchange

Hello everyone, I am sending this posting, to remind you all that the city of Auburn Hills and their wonderful Beautification Advisory Commission is holding its 20th year Perennial Plant exchange. It is held at River Woods Park on Squirrel Road south of M59.

I will be there with my native plants to exchange and will be speaking about the benefits of using native plants. I can hardly wait to tell everyone of the success we have had in our garden with the natives we have planted.

We are seeing more butterflies, birds that are nesting in and around our garden. Even my next door neighbor said she spotted the Baltimore Orioles and thinks they are nesting.... she has included natives so much so that they and are the neighborhood Monarch butterfly nursery. Her Swamp Milkweed plantings have been the start of many Monarch that they raised and released.  It will be great to share success stories.

See you tomorrow, 11-1 p.m. Don't forget your plants!
