For new adopters or those interested in adopting a bed:
Join the City to beautify its streets with an Adopt-A-Spot Beautification partnership. Your family, business, faith community or civic organization can partner with the City to plant and maintain landscaping areas.
The city has identified beds available for adoption… some are existing beds that need a new adopter and others are new beds created from road construction.
As a city-wide initiative, we are working towards all native plantings in our Adopt-a-Spot locations. As of July 1st, all new Adopt-a-Spot locations will be able to choose from a list of native plants to use in their bed. To learn more about native plants, take a look at this resource from the Missouri Department of Conservation.
We invite you to take a look at the beds available to adopt. You will find an application on our web page, too! You may contact us to learn more at 874-7499 or Volunteer@CoMo.gov.
If you are interested in a landscaping project in the public right-of-way, in front of a business, or as part of a development project that will be a permanent structure within the public right-of-way, please contact David Hagenhoff, 573.874.7474, to obtain a right of use permit.
