It’s fun…it’s inspiring…it’s for a good cause!
So don’t miss this year’s Native Plant Sale, 4 to 6 p.m., Friday, April 17, at the Youth Camp, 22310 NE Colbern Rd., Lee’s Summit. A portion of the proceeds will go to help support our youth camp.
And, by the way, we need volunteers!! Knowledge of native plants not required!
You’ll find a vast array of native plants provided by Missouri Wildflowers Nursery, Sow Wild Natives and City Roots Nursery. You can even place your order with these nurseries ahead of time, then pick up your plants at the sale!
And, you can get up to speed on growing your native plants from the Missouri Prairie Foundation that will share information and tips on native gardening and prairie conservation.
The Kansas City Zoo will be on hand to provide fun educational activities for kids. But that’s not all. They’re also offering FREE Zoo Manoo, compost direct to you from zoo herbivores.
Not to be missed are local musicians who will be providing live music while you browse and chat with experts.
You won’t want to miss it: native plants, experts, fun for kids, music….and manoo! And best of all, it will help support our camp for disabled and disadvantaged kids.
It’s all brought to you by your friendly Ecology Committee. For more information OR TO VOLUNTEER, contact Wade Freeman, wadefreeman.hawks@gmail.com
