At Kaw Valley Outdoor Company, we believe that outdoor spaces aren’t just for enjoyment they’re opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with nature. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight the Plant a Prairie program from the Kansas Native Plant Society, an initiative that brings environmental education directly to Kansas classrooms.

Why We Care

As a company rooted in outdoor construction and landscaping, we understand the importance of native plants in creating sustainable, thriving ecosystems. Programs like Plant a Prairie help students discover how pollinators, soil health, and biodiversity all work together values that mirror the principles we apply in every custom deck, patio, and landscaping project.

About the Program

Kansas teachers and youth leaders can apply for FREE kits that include:

• 32 live native plants

• Educational resources and lesson plans

These kits make it easy to create a mini prairie at schools or program sites, giving students hands-on experience with planting and caring for native species.

Our Commitment to Community

We’re proud to support initiatives that encourage outdoor learning and environmental stewardship. Whether it’s building spaces for families to enjoy or promoting programs that teach the next generation about nature, Kaw Valley Outdoor Company is committed to making a positive impact in Northeast Kansas.
