Native plants and awesome folks what more do you need? Oh, everything is bought online, nothing sold on premise, only pick ups and a small space to walk around. Make sure to go walking around if you need some inspiration. The lakes surrounding the center are also very pretty.
Have ordered from them before. My plants are doing very well. Nothing better than buying native plants that are suited well for our high plains climate. Pictures of full grown Chrysopsis villosa (Hairy Goldenaster). Beautiful bright yellow flowers.
We love it here! The plants they sell are great quality and always have gorgeous roots, and it's much less expensive than other places. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we make it an outing! The kids love going and looking for animals and seeing the water and playing in the awesome kid areas scattered behind the building.
Really nice facility, staff, and trails. We did the short hike, roughly 1.5 miles around the lakes. Beautiful during snowy weather. Highly recommend you check out this area during all seasons. There is a shelter and multiple benches along the trails. Enjoy!
Beautiful spot with paths, seating and educational opportunities. Lovely hidden gem for communing with nature.
