ENF Has Received New Plants
Apple River) The Eagle Nature Foundation has just received its first load of plants for 2018. There are presently over 400 shrubs, trees and flowers of over 155 different varieties in the yard from which people may choose. Many of the plants are in bloom at the present time, so a person can see what they will look like and decide if the plants would fit in their own yards. There are many different and unique plant varieties in this load, which we have never had before. The plants are located beside and in front of ENF’s office at 300 East Hickory Street, on the East edge of Apple River, right on Stagecoach Trail.
Plants are available during daylight hours for people to look them over. Prices are marked on the signs for each variety, so people can serve themselves. The money for each plant chosen should be placed in the money box on the porch. If anyone comes during office hours, they may come into the office to look over the many field guides, bird houses and feeders, honey and Rawleigh products, which are for sale, and get a receipt for their plant donation.
On the porch beside the money box is a plastic box with a complete list of the plant descriptions. Some of the bird houses and feeders are available on the porch as well; the money for which can be placed in the money box with the plant money. Please do not take what you don’t pay for as income from these plants and bird houses keeps ENF alive during the summer.
These plants are available through the courtesy of Roy and Sarah Klehm, Barrington, IL and come from their Beaver Creek Nursery in Poplar Grove, IL, or their Song Sparrow Nursery in Avalon, WI. Many of the plants are unique varieties that cannot be found in a regular nursery and have been developed over the years by the Klehm Family.
