Intro to Native Gardening Class

Native Gardening Tour Route.PNG

Discover how the Valley's landscaping does its part to protect the Menomonee River and how to use some of the same landscaping techniques at home. Jay Feiker of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District will lead a tour of Menomonee Valley Community Park. Beginning near the intersection of W Milwaukee Road and Canal Street, participants will hear about the native gardening and stormwater management efforts in place in the park and how that helps keep the Menomonee River healthy.

After the tour, you can learn about how to implement similar practices in your own backyard! Do your part to help keep our rivers clean and healthy by planting native flora—you’ll even get a native plant to bring home after the event!
