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.
