The yellow
of native
goldenrods
may be the
most notice-
able of fall
flowers,
says Dave
DeGraaf,
president of
the Calhoun
County
Master
Gardener
Association.
“From showy to stiff to swamp,
goldenrod blooms blanket the land-
scape in the fall,” said Ellen Holste,
who will present a program titled
“The Golden Rules of Goldenrods” to
the group on Tuesday,
Nov. 5, at 6:30 p.m. at the
Horticulture Training Center at Leila

Arboretum, 103 Limit St., in Battle

Creek.

Attendees will “learn the differ-

ences between goldenrod plants in

Michigan, their identifying character-

istics, and their importance to insects,

animals and humans,” according to

Holste.

She serves at Pierce Cedar Creek

Institute in Hastings as the Research

and Community

Engagement manager, overseeing

the institute’s field station.

She holds dual Ph.D.s from

Michigan State University in forestry

and ecology

and is certified as an interpre-

tive guide and trainer through

the National Association for

Interpretation.

The meeting is open to guests for a

small fee.
