Blitz Blooms!

Every year, well over a hundred thousand flower seedlings are planted around the city in public spaces.

What: Sow Blitz Blooms seedlings Where: The Greenhouse in Forest Park When: Saturday, March 9 and March 23 from 9:00 am-Noon We will fill 200-count seedling trays with soil and then drop a seed in each pod. It's so easy and relaxing. Join us and then you can say, "Hey! I grew those flowers!" when you see them in a neighborhood near you later this Spring.
