St. Louis Urban Gardening Symposium

May 11, 2026

Learn more about caring for native gardens by participating in this year’s St. Louis Urban Gardening Symposium on Saturday, May 30 from 8:15 AM to Noon, in Brightside’s Demonstration Garden.

We’ll have a great lineup of experts who will discuss the importance of native plants to benefit both people and pollinators. You’ll enjoy the variety of organizations represented, including the MO Department of Conservation, Forest ReLeaf of Missouri, Master Gardeners, STL Neighborhood Foresters and Audubon Society!

It’s only $10 to participate and free for anyone interested in applying for a Neighbors Naturescaping project.
