Sources for native plants

Palouse Prairie in a flat, Pioneer Assortment was a selection of native plants grown by Jacee and Wayne Jensen and was available in the spring of 2007 and 2008 at several nurseries in the Pullman-Moscow area.

In 2009 the Jensens are selling seed and individual plants - check out the Tuesday afternoon grower's market at the Moscow Food Coop. The new name for Jensen's native seed operation is Thorn Creek Native Seed Farm. Check out their new website which has information on the seeds and plants available as well as other Palouse Prairie related information.

Another new grower is Christine Nauman who runs Cricket’s Garden Native Wildflower Nursery in Moscow, Idaho and sells Palouse natives. She also is at the Tuesday afternoon grower's market at the Moscow Food Coop during June. See her website at Cricket's Garden . Her website also has considerable information on growing Palouse natives.

Many natives are available either by visiting Plants of the Wild in Tekoa Washington or via their online catalog.
