Current Projects
Moosylvania Marketing, an independent advertising and marketing agency located at 7303 Marietta Avenue in Maplewood, MO, is currently working with us on four native plant gardens on it’s grounds. The first project, completed in June 2024, consists of three native plant gardens planted adjacent to Marshall Road. Moosylvania employees volunteered to help plant the gardens. Check out the fantastic video Moosylvania created below! A future native plant garden, hopefully funded through the St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District’s Small Grants Program, is planned for the fall of 2024 or spring of 2025.

Future Projects
An upcoming project is planned at Kol Rinah Congregation at 7701 Maryland Ave in Clayton, Missouri for the fall of 2024 or spring of 2025. We hope to receive funding for this project through the St. Louis Metropolitan Sewer District’s Small Grants Program. The project is located at Kol Rinah’s interior courtyard. The site has a steep slope and bare ground which has caused erosion and water to enter the building’s basement. The native plants shown below should stop the erosion. A few blooming native plants should delight the children that attend Kol Rinah’s Early Childhood education program, whose windows look out onto the site.
Plants included in the above design:
1. River birch, Betula nigra [already existing on site]
2. Wild columbine, Aquilegia canadensis
3. Golden ragword, Packera aurea
4. Broad Leaf Goldenrod, Solidago flexicaulis
5. Crested iris, Iris cristata
6. White-tinged sedge, Carex albicans
7. Bristle-leaved sedge, Carex eburnean
Several upcoming projects are planned for Lift for Life Academy, 1920 South 7th Street in St. Louis, for the fall of 2024 or spring of 2025.
