April is Native Plant Month
in Minnesota
Thanks to the hard work and vigilance of our state’s great organizations, this April is once again Native Plant Month in Minnesota!
Each year, the Senate and House of Representatives must reintroduce a new resolution, and the support of the Garden Club of America’s member clubs and other organizations are instrumental in its passing. You may learn more about the Garden Club of America’s work and its partnering organizations here.
In support of this special month, we rounded up our favorite native plant articles and webinars from our Northern Gardener™ Resource Hub to share with you below. Start planning your native plant space today!
