We will be planting a native plant flowering garden that benefits pollinators and is low water usage in freshly prepared beds adjacent to the Goerner Wing and along the north of our property.  This may take us more than one growing season to complete.  As we begin this work over the summer, we will be sharing information about the native species chosen for our garden, so that we can all learn along this journey.  You also have an opportunity to donate in memory of a loved one toward purchasing native flowers and plants for this project.  Thank you for helping us beautify our grounds and care for native species and pollinators.

Parking
Work on the flower beds adjacent to the Goerner Wing will begin on June 5, and continue for an unknown length of time, depending on weather and other factors.  During this time, the parking spaces in the lot will be unavailable.  Please plan to use public/street parking.  We'll let you know when the lot opens back up.
