Description

Because plants native to Missouri are naturally adapted to diverse growing conditions, there are native plants perfect for both dry and wet areas of your yard or property. In this presentation, learn about native plants that are drought resistant, and also about natives that can help you manage stormwater on your property and protect local streams at the same time.
