Hello there!
We’re excited to share some of what’s been growing and inspiring us this month—
Catch up with our summer crops-stop by soon to see the perennials, trees, shrubs, evergreens, tropicals, succulents, and more. Flowers, foliage, and more to explore- stop by for a nature hike, picnic, bird watching, project planning, quick plant question, or dog walk. We’re open to the public and welcome visitors to enjoy our spaces.
We’ve been busy in your gardens too-thank you for your continued support of our garden design/consultations, landscape installation, and tree planting services. You’ll find a few photos capturing site visits of projects we’ve worked on in the last 12 months, or are still in process. If you’d like our team to transform your garden spaces, beginning a conversation now starts the framework for next year’s projects.
We do have a few upcoming closures at our retail location. This coming Saturday, June 27th, as well as Friday, July 3rd, and Saturday, July 4th. All other weekday hours remain the same. Closed every Sunday!
We hope you enjoy this month’s insights, and that it sparks some inspiration for your own spaces!

POLLINATOR DAY 2026
in collaboration with BROOKINGS FARMERS MARKET & BROOKINGS SUSTAINABILITY COUNCIL
Thanks for joining us for Pollinator Day 2026 at the Brookings Farmers Market!
It was a great day learning, sharing, and celebrating. Native plants are essential to the pollinator insects and wildlife in our environment!
Thanks to the Brookings Farmers Market team and vendors, Brookings Sustainability Council, and all the community members for coordinating, supporting, and coming out for the event.
Prairie Plants We're Excited About
Our Pollinator Day booth highlighted the relationships of certain native plants with pollinator insects in our communities.
Revisiting our Custom Soil Mixing: The Foundation
Healthy landscapes start below ground. At our nursery, we carefully mix soils for potting trees, shrubs, and perennials to balance structure, drainage, and microbial activity. Soil structure is key—porosity, texture, and organic matter all determine how water moves, how roots grow, and how plants access nutrients.
Our hands-on process blends a custom ratio of composted organic matter, sandy loam, peat moss, and perlite to create soil that is well-drained, rich in organic matter, and ready to support a diverse planting palette. Whether for container-grown plants or site installations, the soil conditions of a landscape can make the difference between thriving plants and constant maintenance.
