April 17th, 2018:
Native Plants You Likely Never Heard of, But Wish You Had Mary Ann Menck At the Tuesday April 17th meeting of the Marshall Area Garden Club, Inc., the featured speaker will be Mary Ann Menck, former owner and operator of Mary Ann’s Michigan Trees and Shrubs. Mary Ann will share a list of her favorite native plants. We’ve all heard how using native plants in our gardens is the smart way to go. Mary Ann will go the next step and give practical suggestions on what plants are the best, depending on location, and where to buy them in our area. She has been a member of Kalamazoo Wild Ones for many years, so is well versed in the subject. Besides counseling students and working in classrooms, she started the Elementary Landscaping Club with fourth graders. She earned a BA and Master’s Degrees, in Elementary Ed. and Counseling, from WMU. Garden Club meetings are held at the Marshall United Methodist Church on Old 27 Highway, and the public is welcome to attend. Social time begins at 6:30 p.m., the program begins at 7:00 p.m., and the club’s business meeting will follow at 8:15 p.m. |
