NATIVE PLANT SEMINAR & WALK —May 17th & May 31st , 2008
10:00 am Walk Through the Natives • 11:15 am Seminar
See natives being used in landscaping and in the restoration of prairie, glade, savanna, and woodland communities; join in discussion on everything from landscaping to natural ecosystems. Oh yeah, and don’t forget to try the Outpost’s raspberry lemonade!



NATIVE TO WHERE?
Project goals will determine from where the plants originate. Rare and declining habitat restorations are planted to local ecotype seed. In livestock grazing systems, warm-season grass cultivars are selected for their productivity and palatability. Quail buffers on the borders of crop fields are usually more temporary, so they are planted to the least-cost options. Landscapers look for unique and colorful Missouri natives that bloom throughout the season.


We have experience in all of these areas; so if you have a question about genetic origins, grazing systems, landscaping, choosing plants for quail, or anything else feel free to call us!
