CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites the public to a native plant sale Saturday, March 21 at its Cape Girardeau Nature Center. The event will run from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Purchase native plants like the purple coneflower (pictured above) at Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center March 21 to benefit pollinators like monarchs (pictured above).
Using native plants in landscaping is a simple way to beautify landscapes while benefiting pollinators, butterflies, songbirds, and other wildlife. Native plants are easy to maintain, and there is a native tree, shrub, vine, or other plant for nearly every location.
Visitors will be able to purchase native plants from two vendors. Free literature will be available along with garden signs and books for sale from several partner organizations.
Registration for this event is not required. Questions about this event can be sent to Anna Norwald at anna.norwald@mdc.mo.gov
