Bringing Nature Home Applications Close August 1st
Don't forget to submit yours!
It's been a great season for Bringing Nature Home, and it's not over just yet! Applications close soon, though, so don't miss your chance to show off your garden's native plants and receive an official plaque celebrating your commitment to supporting native habitat.
Planting Criteria:
- Plantings should be primarily at least in the second growing season.
- Native plants are defined as those growing in this region before European settlement. Learn more here.
- Landscaping must be generally free of (or in the process of removing) invasive plants. Learn more about invasive species here.
- Entrants must be located in Lake, Porter, LaPorte, St. Joseph, Marshall, or Starke Counties in Indiana.
What happens next?
Our Bringing Nature Home Committee, made up of staff and volunteers, will review your application and sure that your garden meets the program criteria. Then, a staff member will contact you to arrange an in-person tour of your garden/landscape.
