Every third Saturday in October the Parks & Recreation Commission organizes the Prairie Seed Collection at Crossridge Park. The seed picked will be planted in various locations to beautify the city and reduce mowing costs. Attendees can also collect seed during the event to plant on their own property.
Seed collection is fun and easy for people of all ages. Small children should be accompanied by an adult. Seed collection is most often done by hand (snapping off seed head). However, some people find scissors or snips helpful.
