My Pocket Prairie
Back by popular demand for the 2025 holiday season, My Pocket Prairie is a beautiful way to make a big impact in a little bit of space. Plant native plants that will mature into a stunning little piece of beneficial native prairie in your yard.
Buy one for yourself, or send as a prairie-perfect gift to a friend, loved one, or native gardening enthusiast! **Please include any special shipping instructions in the notes section at checkout if hardware and plant shipping addresses are different for gift giving.**
My Pocket Prairie is available in four different size and layout configurations. See layout maps below for each size.
Each 5ft. x5ft. square includes 27 plugs, 3 plugs each of these species:
Asclepias incarnata – Rose Milkweed
Dalea purpurea – Purple Prairie Clover
Echinacea angustifolia – Narrow-leaved Coneflower
Eryngium yuccifolium – Rattlesnake Master
Liatris ligulistylis – Meadow Blazing Star
Penstemon gracilis – Slender Penstemon
Schizachyrium scoparium – Little Bluestem
Solidago nemoralis – Gray Goldenrod
Symphyotrichum oolentangiense – Sky-blue Aster
How it works:
1. Order online. Hardware bundles will begin shipping in November. You will receive an email before shipping so you’ll know when to expect the hardware bundle. Orders placed by December 15 will ship in time for holiday gift giving.
2. Once spring arrives and weather allows, follow the hardware installation instructions and prepare the garden space.
3. Plants will be sent in late May 2025 to place in the garden and grow a beautiful native habitat! You will be notified via email prior to plants being shipped.
Why install your hardware before the plants arrive? Gardeners will gain a head on the growing season by preparing the project site ahead of time. The hardware kit will have everything you need for installation, including a weed-suppressing mat, galvanized edging, and a garden sign. By installing the weed-suppressing mat early, the turf below will smother, making the plant bed extra cozy and welcoming for the plants when they arrive.
