Spring into Native Wildflowers

Description

Additional Information

This is an in-person program. Registration is required.

This hands-on program provides the materials to sow a selection of native seeds for you to take home, along with the chance to paint a pot for your wildflowers as they begin their pollinator journey.

Participants can also test their knowledge of native plants and invasive species prevention through a fun digital trivia game, accessible from your smartphone. The top three highest-scoring participants will win a prize!
