PLANT PICKUP
Plants will be available for pickup at LOWA member Southwest Stone Supply; 6386 Osage Beach Parkway, Osage Beach, MO 65065 on April 20th from 3-6 pm.
REMEMBER
There will be an educational native plant seminar beginning at 2 p.m. and presented by JoAnne Gitchell, a Master Gardener as well as a Missouri Master Naturalist. There will also be gardening experts available to answer your questions; and there will be a display demonstrating how you can make your own rain barrel.
This plant sale is offered through the volunteer help of the Lake of the Ozarks chapter of the Missouri Master Naturalist Program, Lake Area Master Gardeners, Southwest Stone Supply, and Prairie Hill Farm; all helping to keep our beautiful Lake of the Ozarks clean and healthy by helping to keep stormwater runoff out of the water. Whether a property has lake shoreline or not, all the land in the Lake Area drains to the Lake and we all can do a little to help manage runoff.
Missouri’s native perennial wildflowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees can all help manage stormwater runoff, and once established, can require little maintenance. Native plants are an integral aspect of Low Impact Landscapes (LILs) and can add beauty to a property while functioning as stormwater control and management agents. The plants available at LOWA's Spring sale are top quality container grown plants from Prairie Hill Farm, and will help LOWA continue to grow and educate Lake of the Ozarks residents on preservation and protection of our lake, streams and watershed!
