Generally this time of year there is alot of yellow but species like smooth aster and blue lobelia can help break up those colour dynamics. I mean if you even want to of course! Yellow provides such a warmth to the late season garden. What's not to love!

How does one go about getting seed from to make more?
1. Grow some native flowers. Make sure they are not cultivars
2. Let work their magic
3. Wait for seed heads to dry down. Keep a close eye so you don't miss them!
4. Screen as much chaff as you can from the seed
5. Winnow! Aka using wind power either natural or man made to seperate the light chaff and empty seed from the heavy good seed
6. Plant more!
You can do this at home with very basic tools to grow more brown eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta) like you see here and so much more.

One of my favourite things about growing plants and gardening is watching plants change through the season.
One plant that goes through a pretty incredible change is Prairie Smoke (Geum triflorum). Seen here going from a downward facing flower, a bumble bee favourite, to a very fluffy looking seed head which blows in the wind. With an extended flowering season you can often see most stages all at once!
What plants do you love to watch change?

Well, spring is finally here, and you know what that means--
April showers! A perfect time to plant a Rain Garden!

http://www.seedbox.studio/store/c2/Rain_Garden.html #/

We've been growing our favorite species that thrive in spring floods, and don't mind a drier soil in summer.

Did you know that Seedbox (Ludwigia alternafolia) grows along stream banks, ditches, and wet prairies in southwestern Ontario? It is an excellent, small, bushy perennial for a rain garden, one of the many reasons we adore this plant!

We offer online payment, no-contact pick-up and a delivery service.
