Native Plantings

On June 1st, 2024, Mike Appel, of Mike Appel Environmental Design, led a Native Planting Workshop to fill the space between the parking area and the solar array. Mike provided an overview of the project, the particular plants, and planting directions for numerous community member volunteers.

Why Native Plants?

Native plants are recognized as being in southern Michigan prior to European colonization. Time has rendered them well-adapted to the climate and soil, they need no fertilization and little water once established, and provide food and cover for a host of bird and insect species. The deep roots of native plants form pathways through which water re-enters the soil, slowing stormwater runoff and fixing carbon from the atmosphere.
