First we will tour a private garden designed by Danielle Bell. The gardens have been transitioned over into native plants with the exception of a few cultivars still present in the design. Native ecosystems have been replicated throughout the beds. In the front a blend of prairie and wetland species are used depending on the soil moisture from the downspouts. Danielle Bell was also the designer for the Wild Ones Milwaukee garden design. She will be on-hand to discuss her design and answer questions.
Next, we will head to the Lapham Peak to explore the restored prairie in peak bloom. It includes burr and white oak savannahs and open meadows. Summer prairie flowers include prairie dock, rattlesnake master, cup plant, common evening and pale Indian primrose, lupine, and purple coneflowers.
