JOIN US FOR THIS FREE EVENT THE WEEKEND BEFORE EARTH DAY!
Registration is not required but appreciated.
Native plants attract a wonderfully broad audience of pollinators, beneficial insects, and other invertebrate life.
Join us to learn more about why plants and pollinators have such intimate relationships and how we can help sustain this buzzing web of life.
We will showcase different habitat creation practices, time-saving site prep options, plant selection strategies, and other notes on the "ins and outs" of planting native habitat.
COMMUNITY SEED LIBRARY
Sustainable Stoughton has worked in collaboration with Stoughton Public Library and Dane County Parks to create a seed library for our community.
Beginning February 3, 2025 a seed library will be available at Stoughton Public Library on the 2nd floor in the films/movies section.
The seed library will contain 12 different kinds of seeds-a variety of native flower seeds and vegetable seeds. Packets will be available for anyone to take from the seed library. You do not "check out" seeds nor are expected to bring any seeds back to the library. The seeds are simply available for anyone to plant in their gardens.
We hope to grow the seed library in the years to come.
Donations gratefully accepted to help support future educational events and speakers.
