The Value of Echinacea

With the Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed (FLOW) and the Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District (FCSWCD), I was part of a day of celebrating native plants at a local elementary school. I designed the flyer below about the basic uses of Echinacea to insects and give a brief talk about this to the third grade classes. After the presentations, third graders were able to plant their own Echinacea seeds to grow and take home!
