Pocket Prairie Gardens

Tiny prairie gardens add visual interest to your yard and provide needed food for butterflies, bees, and birds. A master gardener will show you the best plants for suburban yards.

Learn about Pocket Prairie(SM) gardens, a fast way to add beautiful native plants to your garden in six easy steps. Master gardener Edie Rowell and the Little Garden Club of Wilmette have researched hundreds of native plants and selected the ones best suited for suburban yards. Learn how a little slice of native grasses and flowers adds interest to your garden and feeds bees, birds, and butterflies.
