ADOPT A NATIVE PLANT: SHADE

Join a Forest Preserve District of Will County naturalist to explore what makes your yard unique then adopt three native plants to grow your plant family. In this series, learn about how sun exposure determines which plants thrive and which merely survive. Discover how to meet the challenge of your yard and make it bloom throughout the year. Native plants will be provided. This program is geared toward yards with full sun. Ages 16 or older. Registration is required by Wednesday, April 30: 708-946-2216. Looking to adopt plants for part-sun or shade? Join us for additional sessions focusing on other light conditions: Adopt A Native Plant: Part Sun on May 9. Adopt A Native Plant: Shade on May 16.
