Native Plant Sale
May 25 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Many homeowners are discovering the benefits of landscaping with native plants. Plants that are naturally adapted to their surroundings tend to be less dependent on pesticides and watering hoses and they provide better habitat for butterflies, songbirds, and other local wildlife.
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites people to purchase native plants for their landscaping needs at a native plant sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 25 at MDC’s Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center at 201 W. Riviera Drive in Joplin.
In addition to being able to buy plants, people can also get information on how to incorporate various types of native plants into their landscaping plans and how these plants can attract pollinating insects, birds, and other types of wildlife.
The event is free and open to all ages. No registration is required. For more information, call the Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center at 417-629-3434 or go to:
