How does our meadow bloom? It’s time to find out!
Last August, Justin Ulanoski, President and CEO of Native Creations Landscaping Services visited FCWA to explain the meadow project planned for Kocher Park. The “Managing Invasives and Creating Meadows” project has been underway for the past year and now Justin’s returning to lead us on a tour. It’s time to enjoy the meadows at Kocher Park!
If you’ve passed the park during the past months, you’ll know there have been sad-looking brown patches as the treatment progressed. But on September 11th you’ll see the glorious results. Because the sun sets about 7:20 that evening, we’ll start the program at 6:30pm at the pavilion. Please wear clothing that will protect you and footgear for trail walking. And don’t forget insect repellent!
Because we’ll be in the field, there will be no Zoom option for this program. We hope you can join us in person for a first-hand look. Looking forward to seeing you!

Feedback from ArtFest 2023
We had a beautiful day for ArtFest and eight eye-catching container gardens, which earned $270 for the pollinator gardens at Kocher Park. By complete coincidence, three of the entries featured Barbie, a character very much in the news. Other gardens featured the desert, Greece, seed-saving, acorn-hiding and digging deep into nature.
We give our thanks to the gardeners who entered and helped us add to our fund for Kocher Park. We also thank all who strolled by, listened to our pitch and voted for their favorite garden. It takes all of you to make the contest a success. Please plan to enter your own container garden next year. It’s creative fun and a wonderful way to support the pollinators at Kocher Park.
Here are pictures from the FCWA booth and the winning garden, created by Dr. Jennifer Whisner, who used her geology expertise in her realistic entry, Cadillac Desert.
