Sponsored by Carolyn Sanford and Chuck Carlin.? Carolyn and Chuck are retired from Carleton College. She has worked with the Nature Conservancy in southeastern Minnesota, and Chuck has been active with Carleton?s McKnight Prairie. Their front lawn consists of prairie and wildflowers, with meandering stone paths. In the backyard they have a 15 year old prairie, and a herb and vegetable garden. All trees and bushes on their property are native to the area. A favorite plant is Hibiscus laevis (Rose Mallow), and should be in bloom in July.
