Sunday: Planting Day for New Garden
If you’re itching to get your hands dirty, or just want to chat about plants, join us at the Kansas Wildlife Exhibit this Sunday April 27th at 10:00 to install a new Bee City Wichita garden.
A sneak peek at a few of the plants being installed:
Red Columbine
Lemon Paintbrush (a parasitic flower!)
Blue Grama (chosen host to above)
Blanketflower
Slender Mountain Mint
Meadow Zizia
This garden is uniquely shady, so was to fun design. If you need shade garden ideas stop by to get some inspiration!
