LAWRENCE — The University of Kansas Native Medicinal Plant Research Garden will have an open house Saturday morning at 10. The medicinal garden has added several new things. It is on East 1600 Road in Douglas County, north of U.S. 40. Both KU and Haskell Indian Nations University are involved in maintenance and research at the garden. Another project in the works at the garden is a solar composting toilet being built by the student group Engineers Without Borders. The latrine replicates those built by the group in several villages in Bolivia. The garden is open to the public dawn to dusk. For more information, visit www.nativeplants.ku.edu.
