• Friends
of the Garden |
The Otsego Conservation District is seeking
individuals interested in taking an active role in planning the
future of the demonstration garden as part of the new
Friends of the Garden group. The OCD is celebrating the
14th year since development began on the demonstration garden. In
that time the site has transformed into three acres of beautiful
butterfly, hummingbird, friendship, children’s, herb, rose,
daylily and native plant gardens. The adjacent
16-acre woodlot has been managed as an educational tool and now
boasts an extensive wildflower lined trail system where visitors
can bike, walk and bird-watch. For more information, please call
Patricia Osburn at (989) 732-4021 or click
