Video update from MCC-Longview, Missouri Department of Conservation's Grow Native workshop

Several weeks ago, MCC-Longview's agribusiness/grounds & turf program hosted the Missouri Department of Conservation's Grow Native workshop.

Experts, authors and speakers from Powell Gardens, the Missouri Department of Conservation and Shaw Nature Center spent two days showing professional landscapers and home gardeners how to use native Missouri plants in their own plantings.

The MCC-Longview campus joined the MDC's Grow Native program last fall and seeded the south-east corner of campus with native grass seed and flowers in an effort to join the native plant program.
