Native Landscape Planning and Tour
Public Welcome Free Event Program/Speaker Presentation
Please join us for a joint presentation sponsored by Wild Ones Tri-State Driftless Area and the Galena Territory Association's Greenspace Advisory Group.
Cory Ritterbusch and Emily Lubcke will focus on the native landscape design at the Marina Park, including a presentation in the Marina Lounge to learn about native landscape design perspectives, how we approached the Marina Park plantings, and favorite species for various conditions. After the presentation, we will walk through the Marina plantings, which include mulch beds, prairie areas, and an oak savanna under restoration.
