The native plants in our program can easily adapt and flourish in a home garden setting.  Take a little time to analyze the amount of sunlight, shade, soil moisture and any garden pests that your plants will need to be protected from. A little preparation work now will help your plants get established faster and flourish for years to come.

Since the purpose of this program is to propagate seeds from original local gene pools, you may not choose a species from this program if you are already growing that same species from another source.

For example, you’d like to grow butterfly milkweed,  but you already have a few of them that you purchased from a local nursery.  We do not want the pollen from those plants (which may not be of local origin) pollinating the seed we will use, therefore, you will need to choose a different species to grow.
