#15 - Waban Hill

For over a decade the owner, a former chair of the UW's limnology department, has done his part to spare our lakes from pesticides and fertilizers. The yard of native plants under Nakoma's oaks were researched by the owner and purchased from Prairie Nursery and the Arboretum Native plant sale. The home looks like a house in a deep woods instead of in urban Madison. Prairie plants were planted recently in a small sunny part of the yard.
