2010 Prairie Moon Tour Dates:

Free Guided Prairie Tours Each Summer. Please Join Us!
(2010 tours have ended; 2011 dates to be announced soon!)

Rain or shine come see our various prairie plantings, garden beds, seed cleaning and storage facilities. Free beverages will be provided. Tours usually last 2-3 hours. Wear comfortable clothing. No registration required. Children are welcome to attend. Please leave dogs at home. Questions? call 866-417-8156.

We will continue to assemble by our gardens in Wiscoy Valley (as shown on the map below).  Warning!: you may not find us on your GPS because of our remote location and our new address since our move in 2008.  We have made attempts to update Google Maps, Map Quest and Yahoo maps recently but information may not be available yet.  

Books on prairie restoration, species identification, and other relevant topics are available for sale. Although we don't sell seed or plants at the tour, you may place seed orders ahead of time and we will have it ready for you to pick up. Sales at tours do not pay shipping fees, but we are required to charge 6.875% MN sales tax.




Driving Directions:
