Enjoy a Native Garden Tour from our partner Cindy Nuss and Woman's National Farm and Garden Assoc.

You may have noticed the progress made at the front gardens of TFES, in an effort to beautify our school front and enhance our wildlife habitat. This plant progress is, in large part, thanks to our local Native Plants Expert Cindy Nuss, of Nature's Way Designs, LLC., for her designing the garden (free of charge), for freebie plants when possible and spending many hours on planting with our volunteers. We also appreciate office staff Sharon Tritz for donating and installing some plants. We also thank TFES PTO for their contribution to this project and continued support of the club.

SO JOIN THIS TOUR TO LEARN ABOUT NATIVES IN YOUR LOCAL ECOSYSTEM!

WHY NATIVES? Native plants are low-maintenance, less watering, likes our terrible soil, and supports the ecosystem, providing a wildlife habitat. Native plants are amazing but a little tricky to find in stores, so this plant sale is a great opportunity to start going native.
