Want to explore our lovely prairies, learn more about native prairie plants, and see some beautiful wildflowers? We’ll be offering a training orientation for our Wildflower Seed Collection program on April 17 th from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM starting at Shotwell’s Landing Nursery, then moving on to Violet Prairie Seed Farm and Scatter Creek Wildlife Area later in the day.
While we have successful plant and seed propagation operations at Shotwell’s Landing Nursery and Violet Prairie Seed Farm, we need our volunteer-based Wildflower Seed Collection program to maintain and incorporate genetically diverse lineages of the various prairie plants we grow. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the prairies and all the interesting plants that grow on them!
