Is it a Wild Flower if You Plant it?

Want to get outside and do something helpful? Kansas City Wildlands is a great local organization devoted to preserving a few spots in this city where nature consists of more than zoysia and skinny bradford pear trees with plastic pipe around their bottoms. They are hosting a few workdays where you can learn a little and do a lot for Mother Nature.
