Our volunteers are hard at work tending to the native gardens at the SMSD Center for Academic Achievement! Many hands makes for light work when it comes to weeding this second-year garden. Hopefully we'll get more rain in the forecast soon, making the weed-pulling smooth as butter. 😉

If you're ever in the area, be sure to drive by and check it out! An interpretive sign was installed at the garden to educate folks about the power of planting native. 🌳🐦🦋 #whatyouplantmatters #deeprootskc #nativeplants #smsd #nativelandscape

Kim Bomberger, of the Kansas Forest Service, puts it this way: “Dare to be different.”

“Just last week, I told an audience to look around their own yard and neighborhood and pick something different,” she said, “to build landscape resiliency.”

We couldn't agree more, especially with invasive species like Emerald Ash Borer on the rise! An increase in biodiversity means stronger, healthier, and happier communities for all. A few of our favorites featured on these lists include Kentucky Coffee (Gymnocladus dioicus), Swamp White Oak (Quercus bicolor), and American Hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana). 🌳

What are your favorite native trees? Are you adding more trees to your landscape this year? Read more about tree species and proper installation methods in this insightful @kcur893 article. Link in our bio.
