Grow One Keep One – Jug Filling

Come help us make 2026's Grow One Keep One program the biggest success yet! The propagation of native flora remains a cornerstone of our stewardship mission. On March 16th, you can help us fill our donated milk jugs with soil and seeds! Take two (or more) planted native seeds home with you and nurture the seedlings over time. Bring one (or more) back in June to be planted here at Meadowbrook in the fall!

Although the jug-filling should not take more than a few hours, you are welcome to come by throughout the day to pick up your jugs. We may be working both indoors and outside, so make sure to keep an eye on the weather forecast for the morning and dress accordingly, just in case. We'll provide any necessary tools or gear, light snacks, and water. As always, we encourage you to bring your own reusable water bottle!

So that we can best plan for this event, please RSVP through the website form below. Question? Call the office at 219-242-8558 or email dm9sdW50ZWVyIHwgaGVpbnpldHJ1c3QgISBvcmc=.
