Mixed Grasses Kit

A garden kit is a collection of plants pre-selected by our nursery to meet a certain purpose. Garden kits are designed to make gardening goals easy. They can be used as a quick way to start gardening native without having to research all 100+ plants in our nursery. They come pre-arranged in the tray so you can plant them just as they are for an instant garden design, with tall plants in the back and short, showy plants in the front. Or, since each plant is labeled with plant name and height, you can arrange them to suit your space.

Our Mixed Grasses Garden Kit provides natural food, nest material, and shelter based on native plant recommendations.

Native plants provide food for wildlife in two different ways; either directly, through nectar, berries, or seeds; or indirectly, as hosts for insects in the summer.

The kit includes only native grasses. Native grasses are great host plants and provide a lot of insects for birds, and other wildlife to eat and feed to their broods during spring and summer, and they form sturdy clumps that hold seeds above the snow for winter feeding. Clumping grasses also offer shelter for ground birds like grouse, and some solitary bees will use the bare soil at the base of native grasses to dig a small nest chamber. Whether the bee nests successfully or the birds eat the bee or its larvae, nature scores a win.

If you need specific plants for your garden goals, consider supplementing your garden kit with quarts:

This economical kit includes 38 plant plugs that fill 40 square feet at 1-foot spacing - a 4'x10' bed; or up to 86 square feet at 1.5 sq. ft. spacing - a 6'x14' bed.
