First Missouri State Capitol SHS, 200 S Main St, St Charles, MO, 63301 Map

Volunteers Needed Public Welcome Family-Friendly Free Event Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking

The event is held here on the grounds and in the buildings of the First Missouri State Capitol State Historic Site in St. Charles from 10 am to 3 pm. 

There is no fee to participate and it is free to the public. 

This event is a fun, educational opportunity geared toward families and on a good year we can see several thousand visitors. On any normal Saturday our visitation is usually pretty good but add in a special event and it is a great chance to reach a lot of families.  

The event is set up in booth format and we recommend to exhibitors to try to have some type of demonstration, display or hands on activity-more than just handing out brochures. The kids love to learn through seeing and doing. 

We will be providing lunch to all our volunteers and exhibitors and we try really hard to treat our exhibitors very well because we want them to come back!

Native Plant Expo – Celebrate Nature With Us! Join us for our annual Native Plant Expo, a day dedicated to the beauty, benefits, and biodiversity of native plants! Saturday June 13th from 10am to 3pm

Explore an incredible selection of native trees, shrubs, perennials, (Mostly Perennials) and more from our nursery, plus shop an expanded variety from local specialty growers and vendors who share our passion for plants that support pollinators, birds, and healthy ecosystems. Whether you’re planting a full landscape or just adding a few pollinator-friendly favorites, you’ll find unique and hard-to-find natives all in one place.

Learn while you shop! We’ll have educational displays throughout the store to help you choose the right plants and understand how natives make a difference in your yard and beyond.

Get hands-on with fun make-and-take projects, perfect for both kids and adults who want to bring home a little nature-inspired creation. Come celebrate the plants that belong here — and leave inspired to grow a garden that gives back!See less
