Prairie Shore Botanicals offers a variety of prairie and woodland plants that are native to Manitoba.
All plants are started from seed harvested locally from native species, not cultivars, and are grown in a peat-free soil mix. In an effort to reduce plastic waste, every effort is made to reduce and reuse, so you can expect to receive your plants in unconventional containers.
Prairie Shore Botanicals offers 21 species of conservation concern (SOCC). These are species that have been assigned a sub-national (provincial) conservation status rank of 1 - 3 by the Manitoba Conservation Data Centre where 1= critically imperiled, 2 = imperiled and 3 = vulnerable. These species are not legally protected, but they are being monitored for changes in population status and health and the level of threats they are vulnerable to. I harvest a very small amount of wild-seed from these species, collecting them from different populations in different years to ensure sustainability and maintain genetic diversity within my nursery stock.
