🚫DON'T DOOM THE BLOOM🚫

WOWEE, this Shawnee Mission Park superbloom is absolutely stunning. This site would not look how it does now if park visitors trampled the plants or picked the flowers. Be a respectful explorer and practice observing the natural phenomenons near you instead of taking from them. 😍🌼

Visit the Johnson County Parks and Recreation website to learn more about park practices and discover the many trails open to the public: https://www.jcprd.com

Use sites like Urban Trail Co. to check when natural paths are open or closed: https://urbantrailco.com/the-trails

It's Chelsea Choppin' time! This is a great maintenance practice you can use in your garden to keep your taller plants short and encourage them to produce more blooms🪻🌷🌻
