Wednesday August 21st 6:30-8:00 pm Tour of Two Eden Prairie Residential Native Plant Gardens Stop #1 @ 6:30 pm is the home of our chapter president, Marilynn Torkelson. Her residential native landscape has been evolving and growing since 2010. Visit in August to see the late summer blooms. This yard contains 3 rain gardens, a boulevard garden, shoreline restoration and backyard hedgerows that provide shelter and food for birds, pollinators and other wildlife. Address: 8956 Braxton Drive, Eden Prairie Stop #2 is a tour of a residential shoreline restoration. Homeowners Matt and Carrie received a watershed grant to install a shoreline buffer. Their beautiful buffer has inspired their neighbors to plant their own, creating wonderful connected habitat for wildlife. Since installing the shoreline planting, the homeowners then added a raingarden and boulevard garden to collect and filter water runoff from their driveway. Address provided after Stop #1 above (a few blocks away) |
