Native Planting Project.

Pollinator populations are declining and prairie lands are vanishing. In addition to giving you access to heirloom vegetable, fruit, herb, and wildflower seeds, I am working to restore pollinator populations and prairie lands. For every order of heirloom seeds purchased through my site, I will plant native wildflowers or native grasses. I will directly sow the plants myself or distribute the seeds through public seed libraries in coordination with local conservation efforts. I will update the native plants count on a weekly basis. If you are growing native wildflowers or grasses, send me photos myhealthforward@gmail.com to be included on this page!
