Burrowing Owl Native Plants

Dear Friends,

We have a pretty big 2024 update! Unfortunately, we will no longer be available in Kansas moving forward as we are relocating to Brittany's family farm in Minnesota. We are very excited about our next adventure, but we will sincerely miss all of you! Thanks for shopping with us over the last couple of years, it has been a blast! We hope you'll call Renae at Hidden River Prairie Nursery or Nat Barton of PRAIRIE PRIDE NATIVE PLANTS for your native plant needs this upcoming season!

Best of luck, and keep planting native! 💚

Tomorrow is our last regularly scheduled market of the season! Come see us at the Old Town Farm & Art Market from 8 to 1 p.m.! It'll be a lovely fall day and looks a great week to plant things out! Fall planting gives plants time to root in over the next month or longer while the soil is still warm, and that means less watering for you next season. For our availability, see below!

Hey, did you know that fall is the new spring?! At least when it comes to planting native plants in your garden it should be! Establishing native plants late this summer / early fall gives you a big jump start on next growing season! The Bees and Butterflies will thank you for planting some of their favorites!
