Native Plant Education Garden (NPEG)
920 Cherry Street SE, Grand Rapids (free parking in large lot on left side of building)
Located in front of the Monarch Investment & Management Group building, once the site of the historic D.A Blodgett Children’s Hospital.
This urban garden contains over 80 different plant species and is on its 10th year of existence. This is a wonderful spot to learn to identify different plants, develop planting and maintenance techniques you can use in your own garden, and to socialize with Wild Ones River City members. We have fun and learn at the same time! It is very important that we continue our monthly garden-care session to keep the native beds looking their best! You do not need to be a member to participate. Dates and times will vary each month to encourage participation.
