Our May Habitat Garden Tour in Crestwood and Brook

Our May Habitat Garden Tour in Crestwood and Brookside included a pollinator meadow, woodland wildlife sanctuary, berry fencerows for birds, bold and beautiful keystones in the front yard, a private park, plus free seedlings, herbal tea and coloring books - and nearly 1,000 visits total to our four gardens! We had so much fun - hope you did too. See you June 8th! #habitatgardenskc #whatyouplantmatters #doitintheopen
** Reunion Story: one of our visitors (far right) recognized another visitor (far left, who happens to be one of our July garden hosts). When the former graduated from nursing school, he bought his first new car from the latter. Twelve years later, they met at last weekend's Habitat Garden Tour! 🔮🌠⚡️

IN NATURE: Windswept prairies have awakened in the

IN NATURE: Windswept prairies have awakened in the Midwest. If you venture out this time of year, you’ll notice many prairie flowers are short and hang towards the ground. This is no coincidence! Spring pollinators emerge from the soil and spring storms push across the prairie. Cream Wild Indigo brace themselves against the wind, awaiting pollination from bumblebees. Wild Indigo Duskywing butterflies rely on both Cream Wild Indigo and Blue False Indigo as a larval food source. They lay a single egg on a plant before flying off to find another spot for their offspring.

Want to see the prairie in person? Saturday, May 25th Grab your hiking boots and join us for a field trip to the prairie! Naturalists and native plant enthusiasts Cydney Ross of Deep Roots and Lisa Richter of MDC will host a day of fun discussing the various native plants and wildlife found at Paintbrush Prairie and Forever Prairie in Cole Camp, Missouri. Registration in the comments, our bio, or online at www.DeepRoots.org

IN GARDENS: Do you like bumble butts? 🌸🐝🥲

IN GARDENS: Do you like bumble butts? 🌸🐝🥲 Named for its deeply saturated lupine-like flowers, Blue False Indigo (Baptisia australis) is treasured by gardeners and pollinators alike. The blooms last two or three weeks in May or June, but its handsome blue-tinged foliage, shrubby presence (four by four feet at maturity), and distinctive black seed pods make Blue False Indigo a standout from spring to autumn.

Want to learn more about native plants? Feel empowered, enjoy camaraderie, and learn seasonal skills alongside native gardening experts and enthusiasts!

Baptisia is one of many native plants you will learn to garden with on Wednesday, May 15th at the Antioch Park Pollinator Garden from 8:00-10:00am. Naturalist and native plant nerd, Cydney Ross of Deep Roots will be leading this insightful gardening session in partnership with Johnson County Park and Recreation District - JCPRD
