This months meeting is at Prairie Gardens. We are supposed to meet at the Info Desk at 3pm and ask for Jim Wuersch to come meet us. Jim has several ponds of his own and has worked locally as an aquatics grower at the nursery level for several years. Jim will be giving us a tour of the aquatics greenhouse and lead a discussion on the newest aquatic plants that they have in stock. Jim will discuss the various plants that they have available and answer any pond plant questions anyone might have. He will also give us a tour of the shrub lot if anyone is interested in that. This should be a fun day and educational as well.
Prairie Gardens, 3000 W. Springfield Ave., C., at 3:00 PM
