Marilyn Trent, Founder of Rochester Pollinators will present Petals, Pollinators and Pocket Forests

What if a small patch of land could become a thriving forest in just a few years — one that feeds hundreds of species, supports songbirds, and strengthens your community? In this talk, Marilyn Trent explores the science behind forest intelligence, including how trees communicate and share nutrients through underground networks. She'll introduce the Miyawaki Mini-Forest Method — a proven approach to turning small urban spaces into dense, native ecosystems — and share the story of Rochester's own community mini-forest, planted in May 2025. 

The NOWO Spring Native Plant Sale, May 29 and May 30, will be unsurpassed with more than 100 species of wildflowers, grasses and sedges, and more than 40 species of trees and shrubs. Held annually in Rochester Hills, the sale takes place in a yard brimming with well-established native plants, along with mature native trees and shrubs. Visitors are invited to tour the gardens and see these thriving native landscapes firsthand.
