“Largest selection of native wildflowers available in the St. Louis area…” which “…will offer hundreds of varieties of Missouri native annual and perennial wildflowers, ferns, trees and shrubs to use in home landscaping and to attract wildlife,” according to the Shaw Wildflower Market website page.
Wild Ones – St. Louis Chapter will be selling native plants during the Market at Shaw Nature Reserve on both Friday and Saturday. We hope you will shop our booth at the sale. See below for dates and times.
In addition, many other vendors will be at the Market, including local-area nurseries who will be selling native plants. Other organizations will be selling products at the Market, such as bread, meat, honey, toffee, chocolate, baskets, and books.
The Market is a great place for purchasing native plants to add to your garden, talk with growers, meet other native-plant enthusiasts, and of course, support Wild Ones – St. Louis Chapter and Shaw Nature Reserve.
