USI Biology major Meredith Schaefer (right) recently presented her research on the barriers and solutions to meet growing demand for native plants in the Evansville area.

Today, the Plant Systematics class spent the morning on a service-learning project in the pollinator garden, removing invasive Asian species including Lily of the Valley and Liriope and in their place, installing native sedges and grasses including Little Bluestem, Awl-fruited sedge, and Copper-shouldered oval sedge. The native species provide habitat for our pollinators and will provide a green matrix between flowers and shrubs, removing any need for additional mulch application in the future. A native witch hazel tree was also planted. This was made possible by the generous donation of these plants from Hillside Gardens.
