Winter Blues? Grow your own spring! Lebanon Hills Regional Park and Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, our national park, need native seedlings for spring planting events and YOU can help grow them at home. In order to register, please fill out an application to volunteer at the link posted at the bottom of this description. The registration is managed by Dakota County, contact Garrett Zafke (Garrett.Zaffke@co.dakota.mn.us) if you have questions about registration.
Seedster Club membership comes with a pack of native seeds sourced from park prairies, growing instructions, trays and other materials, and networking opportunities with a group of folks who are doing the same work. Throughout the winter, volunteers will be encouraged to compare notes and ask questions on a closed Facebook group. Keep a few of the seedlings for your own yard or to share with a neighbor. Bring the others back to the park for a prairie planting party in the spring! Some experience growing plants is helpful, but not required.
Join us for a kick off Seedster Social event where we will give out materials and go over some propagation tips!
Please RSVP to this event so we can bring enough supplies.
This effort is a partnership between Dakota County Parks, the National Park Service, and Mississippi Park Connection.
