From Alderman Lyda Krewson:
Thousands of Sunflowers are BLOOMING! Please join us for ‘Sunflower+ Sunday’ this Sunday, July 20, 5:30 – 7:30 for a very casual gathering at the garden – 51xx Delmar. Bring the kids and neighbors to help us celebrate. Bring a lawn chair if you have one… we’ll have some beverages and light snacks…. And you can cut a flower to take home and enjoy.
On May 24th we planted 15,000 seeds (see pic)
… On June 20… they were just a few inches tall (see pic)
…today thousands of blooms (more pics).
You are welcome to come even if you were not able to volunteer! This is all about ‘making it better’.
Thanks to all of you, the Land Lab, Washington University, St Louis City, Mo Botanical Gardens, Mo Dept of Conservation !!
Many thanks from the “Delmar Sunflower Team”.
