Three flowered avens (Geum triflorum) are putting on size for all of you this spring!

Going into the second phase of seed starting/stratification soon.

We've got a few species chilling out already as shown, but we are still open for requests.
Close up of three flowered avens or Geum triflorum in a nursery tray. The leaves are small and hairy, with serrated leaf margins. Sandwich baggies with sand in them in a fridge for stratification. The labels say, "Antennaria parvifolia", "Aquilegia canadensis", "Cornus canadensis", and "Linum lewisii". January 26th and 28th, 2025 are written on the baggies.

With spring approaching, our minds are turning to our yards and gardens and that other commonplace green space - our lawns.

Are you looking for a lawn alternative?

Join me on March 1st at the McNally Community Classroom for my popular presentation, Native Plants for Native Lawns.

A poster is shown with three pictures of North American native plants. The plants are, from left to right: Galium triflorum (sweet-scented bedstraw), a bright green, low-growing plant growing in a carpet. The second plant is Sisyrinchium angustifolium (blue-eyed grass), a grass-like plant with star-shaped purple flowers. The third plant is Geum triflorum (three-flowered avens), an evergreen plant with fern-like leaves and pink flowers that droop over. There is white text on a dark olive-green background: "Native Plants for Native Lawns", "Ash Burkowski, Former Board Chair of the Friends of the Living Prairie Museum", "March 1st, 2025 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM at McNally Robinson Bookstore in Winnipeg (1120 Grant Ave)." "Hybrid event! $35. Register for in-person or online attendance here." A URL is provided: https://t2m.io/9OHb6260 and a QR code is included.
