In 1925 Cheri's grandparents built their own house and worked on a small farm. The old barns are gone and the brome is slowly being replaced with prairie plants. But old memories are treasured while new ones are made.
Please join us at this Members Only Event to commemorate this milestone with a Hilltop Native Garden Walk and Open House!
Refreshments will be served with cake cutting at Noon.
The Old House and Hilltop Gardens are located at 2801 S. Cecelia St, Sioux City.
We will also host a plant exchange that can include natives, non-invasive ornamentals and house plants.

Bees & Blooms Garden Walk
Hosted by Wild Ones Loess Hills ChapterPublic Welcome Family-Friendly Free Event Home/Private Garden Tour Free Public Parking
Come join us at Marc and Tracy's Bees & Blooms Garden Walk.
Marc’s interest in prairies and native gardens started about five years ago. Over the years, he has worked on cultivating native grasses and flowers in the back half of the yard. Tracy has always enjoyed vegetable and flower gardening and has started to drink the kool-aid on the importance of native flowers and grasses.
Tracy planted a native flower bed around the electrical boxes in the backyard about four years ago, and it's really beautiful. There are also native flowers and grasses planted around the vegetable garden and the bees. Marc started another native flower garden above the fire pit about two years ago, and it is getting better each year.
Four years ago, Tracy took a beekeeping class and started beekeeping. She usually has two
hives and both she and Marc love to sit and watch the bees bring in pollen, drink from the
birdbaths, and fly around the yard. Tracy harvests honey in the fall—last year she harvested
140 pounds.
Both Marc and Tracy love spending time in their backyard with the bees and the blooms!
This event is free, open to the public, and open yard style. Come and go as you please.
The Loess Hills chapter of Wild Ones is a non-profit organization that promotes planting native landscapes, both small and large, in Iowa, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Native plants attract pollinators and other wildlife, enhancing your home and the environment.
