About Us

about me

We specialize in nursery propagated prairie, woodland and wetland forbs and grasses of Western IL/Eastern IA. Plants are available in 4 1/2" Extra Deep and #1 Ct. (gallon) pots. We do not sell seed or plugs, but in spring do offer 2.25" sq. and 3 1/2" sq. pots for purchase. We offer a full line of plants suitable for Rain Gardens and Bioswales. All plants offered for sale are also grown in our gardens and offer us valuable hands-on experience in their care and growth habits.

 

Benefits of Native Plants
• Drought tolerant after they are established (one year)
• Cold tolerant, even in years without snow cover & cold temps
• Excellent for erosion control due to their extensive root system
• Naturally resistant to many pests and diseases
• Provide nectar, pollen and seed for bees, butterflies and birds
• Provide nesting sites
• Fairly low maintenance once established
• Help open up tight soils so water can penetrate, reducing  runoff
• Plants for the toughest conditions, dry shade, wet soils,  very dry soils,
  and heavy clay
