The long-awaited native plant list has arrived! I’ve been meaning to get this posted forever, but summer is such a busy time for us. I spend basically no time online when I’m busy chasing the kiddo around and tending to the yard.
This is a complete list of every plant we have on our property. Please excuse any misspellings or typos. I threw this together out of an enormous spreadsheet that thoroughly documents where everything is in a way that makes sense to exactly no one but myself.

As we get established in this home we’ll continue to add native plants around the property. Native gardening is a never-ending journey of trial and error, and we’ll continue to learn and move things around until we get some established prairie spaces in this space.
