Wisconsin Plants Honor Obama Legacy

A Wisconsin plant nursery, Bombus, is set to supply ten thousand native woodland plants—including trilliums and jack-in-the-pulpit—to the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, thanks to a unique collaboration sparked by the Center’s need for rare species. Owner Corrine Daniels, who’s previously worked on major historical projects like the Teddy Roosevelt Presidential Center, called the opportunity “wild” and deeply meaningful—connecting ecological stewardship with national history. The plants, loaded onto five trucks, will be on display when the Center opens on Juneteenth, and Daniels plans a team visit in August to witness their legacy. It’s a powerful fusion of nature and history, honoring Wisconsin’s conservation roots while anchoring them in a landmark moment for American democracy.
