Some stars aligned and a donor provided us with a beautiful ceramic pot at the same time that another wonderful person donated rudebeckia, flax, and round leaf alumroot -- all right before a fundraiser for the native garden.

Sunflowers in a prairie

I didn’t plan on so many sunflowers in my #pocketprairie this year, but the squirrels did! Enough to make a living privacy fence next year

Big thanks to the Idaho Native Plant Society, and a very generous donor, for the $100+ worth of #NativePlants. After 15 hours of volunteer hours, we have the #PocketPrairie mostly weeded and the new plants in the ground.

Native plant winter sowing tray

Seed tray #1 for winter sowing and cold stratification. Just add organic potting soil seeds, and wire mesh for protection. Will it work? #nativeplants #wisconsin #winter #pocketprairie #tallgrassprairie #wildseed #wildplants #rewild #wildtheburbs #killyourlawn
