Dear editor:
On behalf of the Ortonville Native Landscape Team, I’d like to thank Wojo’s Greenhouse for their donation of plants for our Memorial Day workday at Heritage Garden. The donated purple coneflower plants, along with the blazing star and butterfly flower provided at a reduced rate from Oakland Wildflower Farm, will bring more color variety to the project. I’d also like to express my appreciation to the residents who stopped to compliment the team, and to Celia Ryker (Hadley Hill Farm & Garden), wildlife biologist Rick McAvinchey, and Oakland Wildflower Farm owner, Ruth Vrbensky for their help on two workdays, in bringing Heritage Garden, the VFW Park planting, and the Kearsley Creek buffer, up to their most beautiful best in time for CreekFest.
