Myriad Botanical Gardens and Scissortail Park have created FREE seed starting kits for local children and their families. The kits offer fun and educational activities about the art and science of growing plants. Three types of kits will be available with supplies to grow three individual plants.

• On Friday, May 8, a Pollinator Garden kit will be offered for growing zinnia, marigold and fennel plants to attract bees and butterflies.

A QR code will be provided with links to step-by-step instructions, related activities and videos of the kits being assembled. Kits will be available for drive-by pickup on a first come, first served basis from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. from the curb near the Boathouse entrance at Scissortail Park, 650 S Hudson Ave. Cars need to drive down Walker, turn east onto SW 7th then north along Hudson to pick-up.
