Native Sustainable Planting

Here is a visual key to the native plants that we are planting to promote native wildlife of birds, bees and butterflies on the McKinley Square Hillside. We also give away these plants to volunteers who join us.

Whats good for the hillside, is also good for our backyards.

As more plants are added, they will be added to this page.
These are pictures of baby plants, we also will be adding pictures of adult plants.

Join us for our monthly McKinley Square native sustainable gardening day, once a month.  Next planting day is April 1st, 10am-12noon.
