Central Iowans this is your one stop shop for all native plants/flowers for Iowa. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable about everything they sell. Visiting was like an experience from yesteryear, where it is really ran by the family and they are as friendly as can be. Great prices! Everything I purchased from them is doing really well. They have a list on their website of what they offer. Call ahead if you're set on something specific because of the late spring start. Will definitely be going back!
This nursery is wonderful. I've been adding natives to my gardens the last few years, so finding this place locally was such a treat. They have such a wonderful selection with helpful explanations of the plants habits and photos. Very reasonable prices. The owners are so friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend!
I’m slowly converting part of my bluegrass lawn to native plants—grasses, sedges, and forbs. Blooming Prairie Nursery is a great place to find loads of variety, along with knowledgeable growers to help you select the right plants. Use your GPS and look for the driveway across the road from Middle River Cemetery. The signs at the road are small, so pay attention or you might miss it, as one of my friends did. Go native!
A hidden gem - such a cool family-owned nursery with an excellent selection of native plants. Owners are super friendly and helpful. Most certainly worth the drive from Des Moines and the surrounding area. This was our first trip but we'll definitely be back in the future!
Such a great family owned and operated nursery. So helpful on helping us pick out the perfect variety of native wildflowers and giving us sound advice to start our own pollinator paradise. They even showed us their personal garden and where the worm cast is cultivated. It's a really great setup geared towards organic and native species. We were very impressed! Our little girl had a blast exploring and meeting the fury and fluffy animals around the farm. Definitely support local!
