Native Seeds and Plants For Sale in 2022
Minnesota Native Landscapes (MNL) some online ordering available, mostly kits (such as the ‘pocket prairie kit’) or seeds. Great quality stuff and some of it is grown locally (Lonsdale) by fellow member Dwayne Vosejpka. They ship out orders in the spring/summer: Shop – MNL: Heal the Earth (mnlcorp.com)
Sogn Valley Farms – They are starting to post 2022 plant lists and prices and usually have some on-farm sales each May. They also sell at the St. Paul Farmers Market – Native Plants and Pollinator Friendly Habitat – Sogn Valley Farm | Minnesota Local
Prairie Moon – their 2022 Catalog is out. Great source for native seeds and their website has very helpful filter and search options. Can select for Midwest region, Minnesota, then flowering season, soil and sun requirements and more. Once you select an item, it shows the native and extended range and gives excellent information on germination and prep for germination (stratifying…) Prairie Moon Nursery
Blazing Star Gardens – ordering is now open for 2022, can pick up at Souba GH in Owatonna or have delivered. They also post the sales they will be attending. Have some difficult to find or germinate native species. Excellent quality plants. They sell individual plants or ‘kits’ of preselected plants. They sell out quickly so don’t wait too long!

Blazing Star Gardens also provides some free native garden designs and information for success. Free Pollinator Garden Designs — Blazing Star Gardens
Prairie Restoration. They have plants, seeds, trees and shrubs. In the past they’ve provided shipping to their Randolph site once during the spring. I didn’t see that option at this time, but it may be added this spring. Good site with a lot of information on native species within their catalog. Prairie Restorations
Outback – trees and shrubs, plus vines and native plants. Hastings, MN. They still have the 2021 catalog posted but will likely update soon. Great place to pick out and buy native shrubs and trees or other native plants. Out Back Nursery: Native Plant Catalog & Terms
Our Prairie Partners sale will be May 21st, Emmaus Church Parking lot, Northfield. Please let me or Nancy Schumacher know (I’ll pass your name off to her) if you are available to help with the sale this year. It’s always fun and educational!
