Build your own container garden using native prairie flora!

In collaboration with the Ozark Chapter of Wild Ones, this teen & adult workshop, will meet outside to roll up our sleeves and dig in the dirt while learning how seeds and plants have migrated alongside people throughout history.

Before filling out pots with plants, we’ll begin our workshop with discussion about the interconnected relationships between people, plants, pollinators, and fungi within changing ecosystems and how fostering an awareness of these relationships can benefit all living things within a community.

Each participant will go home with a 15-inch container garden full of a variety of native prairie plants.

Tickets are $120 ($100 for members), reserve your spot online or with Guest Services at (479) 657-2335 today.

Registration includes all necessary materials and tools.
