By Linda Waggener

Alicia Bosela, owner of Ironweed Native Plant Nursery and a member of the Columbia Adair County Parks & Recreation Board, spoke at the monthly Chamber of Commerce meeting today at Lindsey Wilson College.

She shared from her knowledge and experience about the plants and ecology of the 12-acre (m/l) Jim Blair Park & Recreation Center in Columbia, an asset owned jointly by the city and county, located at 901 Hudson Street, edged by Petty's Fork Creek.



About 8% of the park is native plants. Native plants are those plants which occurred in Kentucky before European settlers came.

She spoke about what plants occur there now and why are they are vitally important, not just to be protected from mowing, but to be expanded for the sake of our environment.
