April Showers โ๏ธ bring May ๐ง๏ธ Rain Gardens! Our Construction team transformed this front yard from boring lawn to functional rain garden! These gardens filter pollutants, sediment, pesticides, pet waste, and provide beneficial #habitat for #pollinators and #birds! #healtheearth

DYK many native wildflower species have strong associations with particular #pollinators? Bottle Gentian (Gentiana andrewsii) is one of those species! #Bumblebees are strong enough to pry open the flowers and climb in. #wildlife#healtheearth
Take the Bur Oak (Quercus macrocarpa) for example: this tree attracts songbirds, mammals, and it is the host plant to multiple species of native butterflies! So next time you see a squirrel say thanks for their role in helping our #forests!
We're celebrating #SquirrelAppreciationDay! A large portion of nuts and seeds they cache end up forgotten? Because of this, Squirrels play an important part in native forest regeneration. Native trees and shrubs are host plants to hundreds of #pollinator species! #MN#ecosystem
Due to rising costs, we will be increasing the price of our plant kits and build-a-kit beginning February 1st, 2023. Place your pre-orders now to lock in 2022 pricing! https://t.co/VcMryPJg2l

Happy #NationalBirdDay@nature_org !! We love birds for a multitude of reasons, but our favorite might be how they aid in seed dispersal! Helping to keep prairies and other native ecosystems more diverse.

Did you know milkweed pods can make a fun holiday craft?! Hereโs how we do it: red & white paint, mini pompom ball and a length of string or ribbon. You could use the milkweed fluff to make the beard more realistic too! #mn#christmascrafts
Snow is on the way!โ๏ธ Did you get your native seeds down over the latest melt? Our guess is there will be another chance in December! ๐ฑ Dormant seeding helps native seeds naturally stratify, just make sure there is good seed to soil contact! Need Seed? We are shipping all winter
