Knowing Native Plants: Meadow Magic

Join Naturalist Mary Anne Borge and discover the Preserve’s 4-acre meadow. See native meadow plant species, including wildflowers and grasses, and learn about meadow successional stages as well as some of the animals that depend on this habitat. Find out why it is important to plant native species and avoid some popular non-native ornamentals that have escaped from cultivation. Presentation/discussion will be followed by outdoor tour.

Mary Anne Borge is a naturalist, photographer, writer, and educator. She is a certified Pennsylvania Master Naturalist, a contributor to Butterfly Gardener magazine, and a volunteer at the Preserve for more than 10 years. She shares her fascination with nature through her writing and photography on her blog, www.the-natural-web.org.
