Only YOU Can Prevent Plant Theft!
Tower Grove Park has experienced an alarming amount of plant theft from our beautiful display beds!
Did you know that:
Tower Grove Park staff & volunteers plant about 17,000 tulips, 3,600 annuals, and 350 tropicals in our display beds each year!
Nearly 200 plants (tropicals and annuals) are stolen each year, resulting in thousands of dollars lost for the Park
Volunteers often get free plants (no need to steal). Visit towergrovepark.org/volunteer to learn more!
It costs about $11,000 per year for these plants alone!
This figure doesn’t include the labor, soil, pots, fertilizer, time, etc. that are accumulated over the plant’s life
Our Horticulture team and volunteers spend months preparing these plants in our on-site greenhouse
So, if you see something suspicious, please report it to our Rangers at 314-771-4042 or email info@towergrovepark.org and provide as much information as possible.
