Hi Wild Ones,
Here is another opportunity for a plant rescue. The Liberty Medical Complex have a native planting in their parking lot islands that has been in several years, and now some of the tenants have decided that instead they want the "1980s golf course" look, in the words of the doctor who originally planted the natives. So they are generously giving away the existing plants.
The plants are local genotype, from the Native Plant Nursery, Wildtype and other local sources, so appropriate for both gardening and restoration.
Directions: Liberty Medical Complex
3200 W Liberty
Ann Arbor
The four long parking lot islands - all the native plants in the islands are ok to dig up and rescue.
Time: Rescue during non-business hours this weekend, this week, and next weekend, as below. Please be respectful and only rescue during the below hours.
Sat 5/29 all day

Monday (holiday) 5/31 all day
Tus-Fri 6/1-4 only after 5:00

Plants: over 1,000 plants that need to go, around 20 species. All of the natives are up for rescue. They are all full sun species. Dig your own. Please leave things in a neat and tidy manner. Here are some of the species:
