Native Plant Garden

Stevenson Dr. N. (Between Grant and Stevenson Towers)
DeKalb, IL 60115

With the help of the ESE InstituteOutdoor Adventures, Communiversity Gardens partners and volunteers, the Native Plant Garden was installed in 2013. Take time to appreciate the importance of native plants in two raised beds located between Stevenson and Grant Towers. Native plants have many different uses: restoration, conservation, aesthetics and pollination. Observe grasses and wildflowers native to northern Illinois, such as milkweed, Rudbeckia, coneflowers, bergamont, goldenrod and asters.

In the spring our “Green Team” gets to work planting the garden with veggies and flowers for summer and autumn harvest. We grow beets, potatoes, zucchini, cucumber, green beans, sunflowers and more. These are then delivered to food pantries of nearby churches. The flower and rose garden in the front of the church is for those who prefer flower gardening. Everyone is welcome to join in.
