Students have collected over 25 species of native prairie flower and grass seeds from our native prairie garden this fall! We also accepted a generous donation of over 50 more species from Linda Walker of Wild Ones.For the first time ever we plan on trying some "winter sowing". Here's the method we plan on using, although we might also experiment with plastic strawberry containers to see what works best.
These seeds must experience winter in order to geminate so they will be kept in these containers outside starting next week! Feel free to join the Ecology Club on Thursdays in room 302 to help get these planted. Last year we made over $600 with our native plant fundraiser. Let's hope we can make it happen again, this time with our home-grown batch!
