Spring Wildflower Market

For almost 30 years, Shaw Nature Reserve has hosted a spring wildflower market to celebrate the beauty and utility of Missouri’s native plants while encouraging home gardeners to grow native. Planting native species benefits the local ecosystem, including pollinators, and it can help gardeners forgo costs associated with fertilizer and insecticides.

During the spring wildflower market, shoppers can browse hundreds of native plants and talk with native plant experts while enjoying the beauty of the Nature Reserve.
