True prosperity comes from dignity, equity, and justice for ALL. DIVERSITY makes us better. We believe in and support LGBTQ+ rights.
We are proud to stand with those fighting for justice, equality, and a future that honors and uplifts everyone.

Too few characters avail. Bumblebee for attention.

Hello @redtrilliumgardens.bsky.social so glad to see you on Blue Sky! I agree not a super fast guy, although does pretty well with our soil (Organic Mechanics growers blend)!

Plant spotlight! Ionactis linariifolia, stiff aster is long-blooming perfect for a rock garden. The stiff needle-like foliage is highlighted by small purple flowers with yellow centers. Average-dry soil, full sun.

P.S. have you donated to the ACLU this month? action.aclu.org/give

Hello! A quick intro with limited characters…Owners Britt and Kristen met at a @wildonesnatives.bsky.social meeting. While growing native plants for a club sale we decided we needed to start a native-only nursery. We have the world’s best customers and are entering our 5th growing season! ❤️ #garden

Native plant spotlight! Lobelia siphilitica, "the great blue lobelia" sounds like the title of a nature documentary, but it aptly describes this species. Spikes of lavender-blue flowers bring welcome color to late summer gardens. moist-wet soil. Part shade-shade.

We are elbow deep in seeds and spreadsheets this January at Blue Stem. February begins our growing season.

If you are local we hope you are staying warm today!
