(Okoboji)– The entrance to Maser Monarch Lodge recently underwent a transformation with some new landscaping. Amy Heibult of the Dickinson County Nature Center says it’s the result of a generous donation…
“Our mission is always promoting native plants and conservation. With the Maser Monarch Lodge, Delores Maser was really loving all the wildflowers that we have here in Iowa and found opportunity to have more of an expanded landscaping bed just around to the north side of the building. She partnered up with Siouxland Prairie Farms. They grow native plants out of Rock Valley and they put in an amazing diverse species there in the gardens.”
Heibult says they hope it will inspire others to do something similar…
“Native plants not only help with cutting back on water usage, they promote our native pollinators and also they look aesthetically beautiful. Anybody that’s visiting can check this garden out. It’s just on the north side of the building near the butterfly sculpture and we’re extremely grateful to Delores Maser and Siouxland Prairie Farms for putting this in.”
Heibult says the plantings will provide an abundance of blooms from now into the fall.
