Grow Native! is the plant education and marketing ‘arm’ of the Missouri Prairie Foundation (MPF). If you are not familiar with the Grow Native! website, check it out: www.grownative.org. You will find a wealth of information about native plants, including a native plant database, sample garden designs, top ten lists and much more.
Because Wild Ones St. Louis is a sponsor of Grow Native!, our St. Louis Chapter members are entitled to attend their Master Classes for free. When members register for a Master Class they should check the box that says “I am an MPF or GN! Professional Member”
An especially timely and pertinent class is coming up:
Grow Native! Master Class: The Seed Cycle: Native Seed Collection, Stratification, and Propagation
Wednesday, October 26, 2022 from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
In addition to the above, if you join MPF as an individual member you will get notification about the many varied webinars and master classes offered throughout the year. MPF members also receive a subscription to the Missouri Prairie Journal, discounts on Grow Native! workshops and the MPF Annual Dinner, invitations to MPF’s Evening on the Prairie and other events. It’s only $35 and you can join at moprairie.org
Membership in other native plant organizations is a great way to network and further increase your knowledge about native plants. Membership in these organizations also supports the important work they are doing.
