Prairieland Wildflower Ball This Saturday at Tandy Hills Natural Area

An incoming invitation to the Prairie from Don Young....

Dust off your frock, put on your bonnet, hop in your carriage and head over to Tandy Hills Natural Area this Saturday morning, May 9th at 10:00 am for the Prairieland Wildflower Ball.

Last week at the Prairieland area of Prairie Fest, dozens of children used mud and native wildflower seed to create seed balls for distribution at THNA. The kids had a blast playing in the mud and doing their part to help with the restoration of the prairie. Now they get to celebrate their handiwork by dispersing the seed balls.

Please come out this Saturday to witness and support this beautiful gift to Mother Earth and the people of Fort Worth.

Details:

WHO: Friends of Tandy Hills Natural Area in partnership with the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge, the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) and dozens of area children.
