Future Beauty…Bring the Bees and Butterflies

I must admit, after opening yesterday’s delivery I am very excited. Kristy and I are going to plant an acre of ground near our home in pollinator habitat and our seeds have arrived!

The base vegetation will be primarily a mix of grasses with a handful of forb species included. To add color and more wildflowers, we ordered an extra bag of wildflower seeds. This picture shows a miniscule amount of the seeds from the 84 wildflower species.

Being someone who really enjoys prairies and the diversity they can offer, I am really excited to see what this investment might bring. It will take time to see the full benefits, but we are patient. Eventually bees and butterflies will be commonplace. With them will come birds and mammals. This will be fun!

Oh, I almost forgot…the seeds have a very earthy smell. I enjoy the aroma almost as much as I like the scent of a freshly cut Christmas tree.
