Discover, Learn, and Grow—All May Long


Celebrate the Ozark Flora Fest with us at Shaw Nature Reserve this May! Our Spring Wildflower Market has evolved into this new celebration with a full month of activities, including pop-up native plant markets, themed plant sales at the Visitor Center, and special classes about native plants. 

We’re partnering with non-profit organizations and native plant nurseries throughout the region to bring you expert insights and unique opportunities to grow your native plant knowledge. May will also be the perfect time to enjoy spectacular wildflower displays in the Whitmire Wildflower Garden and Ozark Ethnobotany Garden. 

Check back soon for a full line-up of activities!
