Dear Editor,
I would like to thank the volunteers who sought and received grant money for the Village Heritage Garden. Through their generous efforts our community has been able to learn about and enjoy some of the native plants of this part of Michigan. Not only are these plants beautiful, they are drought resistant and need no fertilizer, therefore environmentally sound.
I appreciate learning more about low-maintenance flowers that grow well here. I thank you volunteers for planting and maintaining the Heritage Garden. Through your efforts, I have been given a glimpse into historical Ortonville, where native plants and flowers flourished throughout this area.
