Summary: Our guest at 8:30 this morning was Kim Eierman of the web site <a href="http://www.ecobeneficial.com"> EcoBeneficial</a>. The idea here is to link Earth Day, coming up in April, to the notion of helping nature with what we plant in our gardens. <br> <br> Kim speaks eloquently and clearly on the case for native plantings, and for tolerating wildlife in our yards and open spaces. Of particular discussion were Monarch Butterflies, and the extent to which their decline can be linked to the lack of available Milkweed in the midwest.
