Walk on the Wild Side: The June 2025 yard walk will be Saturday, June 28 at the home of Stacy and Mike Iwanicki in Wonder Lake. Walks will begin at 11am and 1pm. The yard features former farm fields that now support over 100 species of prairie, savannah, woodland and wetland plants. The prairie covers 3/4 of an acre on the 1.24 acre lot. In late June the prairie should see several species blooming including Butterfly Weed, Prairie Coreopsis and Pale Purple Coneflower. Formal gardens away from the prairie also feature many native plants. A front ditch has been re-purposed as a rain garden that includes Blue Flag Iris, Canada Anemone and other moisture loving plants. Above the ditch is a small savannah area that includes White Oak, Ninebark, American Plum and other shrubs. More details and directions can be found on the Event Page for this walk. 9100 Marissa Trail, Wonder Lake.
