LASALLE – As part of the “Pollinator Pathways,” community project, the LaSalle and Ottawa libraries are offering free, native wildflower seed packets to create “pathways,” that will connect wild public lands, like state parks, with residential landscapes and community gardens to support the crucial roles of bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Each seed packet contains 21 native wildflowers including Prairie Aster, Blazing Star and Butterfly Weed. One seed packet will provide coverage for a 5 to 7 square foot planting area or two “barrel-type” planters. Seed planting can be done by individuals and/or by groups. “Pollinator Pathways” seeds are being distributed by the Reddick Public Library District in Ottawa, the LaSalle Public Library and the LaSalle County 4-H in Ottawa.
The LaSalle Public Library is located at 305 Marquette, LaSalle, and is ADA compliant and welcoming. The Reddick Public Library District is located at 1010 Canal Street, Ottawa, and the LaSalle County 4-H is located at 1689 North 31st Road, Suite 2, in Ottawa. For more information, please contact the LaSalle Public Library at 815-223-2341.
