We're still buzzing from spending 2 days with all the great people at the @deeprootskc Plan It Native conference, where we were boothing with our friends from @cityrootsnursery . So this seems like a good time to again express how amazing the native plant community is. When we were first entering the industry we were worried about how the existing native plant nurseries would perceive us new kids on the block who didn't know what they were doing, trying to steal trade secrets and customers. But we got a very different response. We especially want to thank Merv and the entire amazing crew at @mowildflowersnursery for not only pioneering the native plant community in Missouri, but welcoming us into it and even helping us along the way. So when people commented about our "rivaling" shared booth at the conference these past two days, it was a good opportunity to share that this "industry" is actually a community of amazing people whose goal is to spread native plants as far and wide as we can to build ecosystems and make our earth a healthier place for all. 💜🌎
Plus, the sooner we can accomplish that mission, the sooner we can retire and go out to enjoy more nature! 😁![If you're at the Plan It Native conference Tuesday and Wednesday, stop by the Community Table in...]()

Pulling back the frost cloth on this warm February day to see if the babies need watered. Yup. Even with the snow melt, they're pretty dry. But it's so rewarding to see all the green and even some early spring beauty blooms. ![We'll be tabling at this Deep Roots event tomorrow. Hope to see you there! DIY Native Garden:...]()
