Our Plants
We are grateful to be able to live on our farm and grow all of our own perennials right in our backyard. Many of the plants that we grow are low-maintenance, deer-resistant, and easy to grow. We also grow perennials for certain attributes: attracting hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators, flowers and foliage for fresh and dried bouquets, native perennials, perennials for steep slopes, as well as many others.
Grasses add structure, height and presence to every garden. Some grasses are tall and straight, while others are low and mound-forming. Use tall grasses to create a privacy screen, visual barrier, or to support other perennials in the garden. Shorter grasses add whimsy, create homes for pollinators, and blend wonderfully with flowers.
While we do grow some trees and shrubs at our farm, we have partnered with two local nurseries that grow in similar climate and soil conditions. This ensures that the plants you receive are ready to handle the soil and weather conditions that the Driftless Region endures.
McKay Nursery, in Madison, Wisconsin, is our main growing partner. We place special orders with this nurser several times every season, and inspect all plants upon arrival. Interested in a special tree or shrub? Let us know, and we will work with you.
Please contact us to check availability, as trees sell out early in the season.
