Adaptive/Native Garden

Adaptive Native Garden

Sponsorship of the Adaptive/Native Plant Garden was the wish of the late John E. Tillotson, Sr. His estate allowed for this generous contribution which enabled the 2000-2001 construction and establishment of this unique specialty garden. This garden emphasizes plant material that can be found growing in natural areas throughout Kansas and the Great Plains Region and should be used in a commercial or residential landscape design.
