It’s time to plant! With summer in full swing, the woods and meadows are alive with flowers. You can bring that natural beauty home by adding native plants to your yard. The Wild Ones Keweenaw Chapter is holding its late summer plant sale online at keweenaw.wildones.org. More than two dozen species are available, including scarlet bee balm, purple coneflower, and Jack in the pulpit, plus two different mini-gardens for monarch butterflies. After ordering, plants can be picked up in Houghton. The birds and pollinators will thank you for it. The sale is ongoing through the summer; order early for best selection. Most
