Grow rare native plants at home

and return the seeds they produce for use in restoring conservation lands

Who can do it?

Anyone willing to devote even a few square feet of lawn or garden can grow rare wildflowers and grasses using plants that we provide free of charge.

How much work is it?

Growing the plants we give you is not difficult, but they are a rare, precious resource so we ask you to be committed to looking after them.  

After the first year these plants typically need little watering, no fertilizer, and just a little weeding. The most important requirement is that you pick the seeds when they’re mature and take or mail them to garden coordinator.

Let’s Get Growing

Simply fill-out and submit our on-line enrollment form. We’ll let you know when the plants are ready for pick-up in June 2010.
