Pollak Room AB - First Floor

Explore the beauty and function of native plants. Learn how to support pollinators by choosing, sourcing, and maintaining the best native plants and trees for your area.

Our yards can become tiny prairie, woodland, or wetland ecosystems that bring back native pollinators. Environmental restoration specialist Dave Eubanks will discuss the benefits of native plants and give practical advice for choosing and maintaining them.

In partnership with the Northbrook Garden Club.
