Hartel Property Tour
Hosted by Wild Ones Fox Valley Area ChapterPublic Welcome Family Friendly Free Event Home Garden Tour Free Public Parking
After a few years of wanting a natural area rather than grass to mow, Dana Hartel and her husband tilled a couple acres and planted a variety of native seeds. Many years later, in 2019, they started tackling the reed canary grass by removing plants
physically. To their delight, a population of native sedges was uncovered. Dana will give us a tour of their property, sharing highlights and challenges.
