The Kids 4 Earth teamed up with Tracy Hanson, a local landscape designer specializing in native plants. The little patch of land that had been tended by the Kids 4 Earth has been transformed into a demonstration garden featuring native plants that require little maintenance. Stop by and take a peek before the winter arrives. Funding for the specimens was provided by the Hillsdale Free Public Library Foundation.
