This online class is for all those curious about seeing native blooms attract pollinators and birds alike. MDC Conservation Educator Stacia Skinner will guide participants through the essentials of fall preparation, planting, and winter seeding to set the stage for a thriving spring landscape.

Although this program is free, registration is still required. Registrants must provide an email, so a program link may be sent to them. For this program, only one registration will be needed per screen for multiple participants at the same location.

Staff at MDC facilities across the state are holding virtual and in-person programs. A listing of these programs can be found at mdc.mo.gov/events.

If you are having difficulty registering online, you can contact the phone registration vendor at 1.888.283.0364. Event call center hours are M-F 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. This phone number is for event registration only.
