SEEDING INSTRUCTIONS
Creating a native plant community from seed is a long-term investment.
Using our original prairie species, you can create a beautiful & diverse
natural landscape that returns year after year. It is not as simple as
Mother Nature makes it look though. Planning, preparation & maintenance
are important for successful establishment. And patience is required since
it takes 3-4 years for the community to establish.
Please download the Planting
& Seeding Guide for instructions on planning, preparation, seeding
& maintenance.
