[Lekooks] Prairie Garden

[Fran B.]

I got rid of the grass and weeds by mowing low and covering the ground with cardboard for one full year. I did a fall seeding which favors the flowers.

We started the prairies at Lapham initially with seeds mostly  from Retzer Nature Center and supplemented with seeds and transplants from Prairie Nursery.  One of the key elements is to take the time to prepare the soil by getting rid of the weeds.

 Hope this is helpful.
