Did you know that April is designated as Ohio Native Plant Month? House Bill 59, a bill which Rep. Scott Wiggam (District 1) of Wayne County was the Lead Sponsor of, was signed into law by Gov. Mike Dewine in 2019.
This bill designated April as Ohio Native Plant Month and is made to increase the public awareness of Ohio’s native plants and the many benefits that they provide to pollinators, Ohio’s economy and the health of Ohio’s environment.
April is Ohio Native Plant Month
With this being Native Plant Month, there really is not a better time to talk about a tree that is threatening and choking out many of our native trees and shrubs. Our landscape is currently being brightened by the blooms of the Callery pear trees.
