General Description
Winter Blues? Grow your own spring! The Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, our national park, needs native seedlings for spring planting events and YOU can help grow them at home. Seedster Club membership comes with a pack of native seeds sourced from park prairies, growing instructions, and networking opportunities with a group of folks who are doing the same work. Keep some of the seedlings for your own yard or to share with a neighbor. Bring the others back to the park for a prairie planting party in the spring!
This program is free. Join us for a kick off Seedster Social event on Thursday, January 14th from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. See below for details.
