Walk on the Wild Side, Deb Lakowski, Saturday, May 20, 2023, 10am & 2pm

  • May 20th @ 10:00am - May 20th @ 2:00pm
  • The Lakowski Property
  • The Wildflower Preservation and Propagation Committee
Description:  A number of paths traverse through this 3/4 of an acre restored native woodland with more than 175 different native plant species including 50+ Oak Trees and 30+ Hickories.  Sedges and forbs bloom throughout the season. In May the yard will feature blooming Trillium, Virginia Bluebells and Spring Beauties to name a few.  There will also be many mid-season plants emerging from the woodland floor.  Deb started naturalizing the property in 1998.  Her motivation was to eliminate invasive plants and attract butterflies and birds to the woods. Her first love has always been butterflies, and the pretty flowers are a by-product of the process.  All WPPC Walks on the Wild Side are free of charge and no pre-registration is required.  This is not an open house.  Guided walks led by the homeowner start only at the posted times.
Directions:  From Crystal Lake, take Crystal Lake Ave east across Rt. 31.  About a mile past 31, turn right onto Kilkenny Dr.  The road will wrap around on itself.  Follow it all the way to the cul de sac at the end.  Parking is available on the street.  3406 S Kilkenny Dr, Crystal Lake.
