Pollinator Seed MixThis mix is designed to provide maximum pollinator value throughout the growing season for upland mesic conditions. Flowering will begin at the end of April and continue until early October. Low stature grasses are included to maintain a stable community. Dormant sowing is highly recommended for maximum forb recruitment.

Native PerennialsRestoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Avoiding InvasivesInvasive plant species are problematic for our native habitats. They can take over an area quickly and out compete their native counterparts. Invasives aren't as beneficial to wildlife as natives, their fruits aren't as palpable or their branches as well-suited for nesting. Our office is starting a county wide CISMA.

Large Quantities of TreesIf you are looking for a large quantity of trees we highly recommend ordering through the DNR State Nursery. Every spring we will go to Vallonia and pick-up the orders for Madison County. This is the best option we know of for those who want 100 or more trees. These trees will be bare root trees. Please see the file below to figure out how to order.
