On Saturday, April 6th, at 10 AM, James Faupel will present Front Yard Landscaping with Native Plants at the Fredericktown library. Landscaping with native plants has become popular with home gardeners, but people who are not familiar with natives can find them wild, messy, or unattractive. A native plant garden is intentional and maintained through plant choice, garden design, and maintenance. This presentation will demonstrate how to use native plants in a formal manner for front yard purposes, and illustrate the benefits to people and wildlife. All are welcome to join.

How to Get Started with Libby Missouri Libraries 2 Go -- Our connection to LibbyThe Voices of the Ozarks project which started in Fredericktown pre-COVID will be renewed and expanded with a focus on family recipes and intergenerational dialogues in 2024!
The goal is to record approximately two (2) interviews per month (one in the Fredericktown library and one in the Ironton library) from April through December of 2024. These short audio recordings will be posted online with photos of the participants, the recipe, and a sample (when possible) to celebrate the past and present of Ozark cuisine. This program is designed to be a recorded dialogue between our older and younger generations, but participants are not required to bring someone with them. Visit ozarkregional.org or call (573) 546-2615 for more information.
