Genia Topski, Paul Abrahamson and Kim Podaseck hosted the garden walk at
the Martha T. Berry Gardens a Medical Care Facility, They have been
working all summer with the residents and staff beautifying the court

and other county departments for the plants, soil, fountains, garden
art, etc. to enhance the garden and flower beds. The MSU- Master
Gardeners worked in collaboration with the Boy Scout Troop #1489 who
built the raised flower beds. Also shown in picture is Sandra Richards

Garden Walk on September 12th at
Martha Nitz '99 of Washington Twp |
 |
Description:
A Prairie garden-in-progress in its third summer after construction.
The focus is on wildlife habitat using native Michigan
plants as much as possible to bring back the pre-European settlement
oak/hickory "openings" found in this corner of Macomb County.
So far they have
worked on a mini-woodland, a woodland-edge meadow, native shrub
borders,
and a not-quite-native lake plain prairie front yard.
You will be
able to see the effects of invasive aliens such as European
bittersweet
on our native wild cherry trees, and you may find autumn olive sprouts
in
spite of four years of eradication attempts. Martha says she is learning as
she goes,
with
the help of family, lots of books, the Wildflower Association of
Michigan, the Macomb Conservation District, Wild Ones, and, of course,
Master Gardeners.

Day, Martha Nitz, Kim Ackerman and Julie. |

accented with many
colors of blue, lavender and pinks. The yard is lined with more than
65 spruce, fir, and pines. The berm is covered with peony bushes armeria,
and
two weeping mulberry Trees. There is also a "secret garden"
carpeted with
natural plush fiber. We found lots of seating areas through out the
yard. |
