Week of August 20th - August 25th
Join us this week for ROOT (Restoring Our Outdoors Together) to help increase biodiversity at all three of our branches! Michaela and Jeff both took a Rusty Patch Bumblebee Habitat workshop last week. If you're at our Washington Park or Menomonee Valley sites, as them about it! The lavender hyssop (Agastache foeniculum) in my yard has been covered in big fuzzy bumblebees for the last few weeks!!
And join our Weekly Botany Walk at our Riverside Park branch on Wednesdays at 9:30am to see what's blooming and what those flowers are attracting.
