The Master Gardeners of Mercer County will host a program, “Planting a Wetland Meadow” on Saturday, July 24 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. The program will be held at the Mercer Educational Gardens, 431A Federal City Road, Pennington, adjacent to the Mercer County Equestrian Center, a facility of the Mercer County Park Commission.
The wetland meadow at Mercer Educational Gardens is flourishing with native grasses and wildflowers which are important sources of food and shelter for wildlife. Walk through the meadow with Master Gardener Nancy Putnam and learn how it has been transformed from invasive plants to natives. Several varieties of native wetland/rain garden plants will be discussed. To benefit the Master Gardeners of Mercer County educational programs, a donation of $3.00 is suggested.
