The beginning
The year always begins the same - cleaning the greenhouses, ordering & treating seed and prepping containers all to be ready for sowing to begin in early February. Also, coffee! We start every season with a break table full of pastries and fresh java.
In 2023 we experimented with growing more plants in plug trays. Our seed sales also really took off with for our Western Montana Grass Mix and Western Montana Meadow Mix.
One of the biggest highlights of the year was visiting Washington D.C. for the National Native Seed Conference. Christine, Jeanne and I had a great week learning about seed mixes, studying different approaches to restoration and meeting leaders in the field. We also ate lots and lots of tasty food.
The Middle
Summer is one of the most delightful times at the nursery. Everything is blooming, everyone is happy and it's popsicle season!
