Fall Native Plant/Weed ID & Management Workshop September 17, and September 23 from 5:00 – 7:00 pm CDT. Register today for free workshops. It’s one thing to read about native plants and another to learn from nature!
Register today for free workshops.
During the growing season nature enthusiasts meet three times a month at the Anita B. Gorman Discovery Center to learn skills, feel empowered, and enjoy camaraderie. Organized by Deep Roots and Missouri Department of Conservation, get your hands dirty as we explore seasonal gardening topics.
Do you like birds and flowers but aren’t sure where to start in your native garden? Are you a Master Gardener or Naturalist who wants to advance their native plant knowledge? With hands-on learning, Discover Native Gardening sessions are great for inexperienced and advanced gardeners alike.
Learn alongside native gardening experts and enthusiasts! From plant ID to seasonal and species-specific maintenance tips, there’s always something to learn while outdoors. Plus, we have tons of fun! Each workshop ends with a naturalist-led garden tour as we talk all things Missouri flora and fauna. Often laughter can be heard across the grounds, which makes sense when a bunch of effervescent plantspeople get together.
The Deep Roots demonstration garden is located on the west side of the Discovery Center grounds, past the pond. In case of inclement weather, the organizer will reach out via email and/or text to cancel the workday. Be sure to check your email before each session for updates.
