Plants for the People


page01-5.jpg
Hi Friends,
Our garden is exploding right now, and it feels so good. Witnessing it grow, flower, and fruit has been such a delight. It's the type of delight that is born of deep ancestral belonging, deep roots in the Earth. We know we were meant for tending the garden. It's like we can feel the delight of the plants as well right now when we water, weed, and witness. These feelings are that much more pronounced when we care for the native plants who have deep roots in this soil here along the base of Mt. Elden. We are walking them back home, and finding ourselves and our roots along the way. This is our garden love song.

CONTAINER PLANTS: Hope you can join us this week by adding some natives to your home garden or any garden you tend. These plants work well in containers, too. We have a lot of native pollinator plants. We are selling them in groups of 6 for $30 or individually for $6. We have lemon balm, datura, clary sage, showy fleabane daisy, penstemon palmeri, white yarrow, blanket flower, white strawberry, black-eyed susan, and native oregano/bee balm. Find more information and lots of pictures on our website. You can place an order here.

SEEDS: We still have wildflower, montane prairie, and native turf seed available. You can also purchase seed packets of a number of species.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN: Jeff has space for a couple more clients if you are looking for inspiration that weaves art, ecology, hydrology and sustainability. We've updated our landscape design page with more photos and couple example designs.

HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF A POLLINATOR 6-PACK with Clary sage, Black-Eyed Susan, and Strawberry:
