The Grow Native! program of the Missouri Prairie Foundation will host its first Brews and Blooms native plant education event in partnership with Civil Life Brewing Co. at their South City brewery on Saturday, April 6 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Grow Native! will be offering a free native plant giveaway (one per household, while supplies last), a container gardening demonstration, and gardening advice from St. Louis native plant and landscaping experts. Grow Native! merchandise will also be for sale, including native plant garden signs manufactured in Washington, Missouri.
Plants native to the Saint Louis region provide beauty for landscaping projects, as well as food sources for wildlife like native bees, monarch butterflies, other pollinators, and songbirds.
“Civil Life is pleased to partner with the Grow Native! program on this special event,” said Jake Hafner, brewery owner. “We invite everyone to enjoy a beverage or a meal while they learn about native landscaping.”
Brews and Blooms is free and open to the public. No registration or ticket is required to attend.

When: Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Where: Civil Life Brewing Co., 3714 Holt Ave, Saint Louis, MO 63116
