Prairie gardening with native North American wild flowers is part of the movement toward more sustainable gardening. Prairie landscapes are natural to Midwestern regions of North America, but today very little original prairie remains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New England aster, golden rod, and other native plants and grasses are the fabric of an original Wisconsin ecosystem. These endangered prairie landscapes, adapt to our temperate climate, require less maintenance and watering. The longer roots of prairie plants provide improved, slow rate water infiltration. Insects and birds also flourish in this type of habitat. Prairies provide balance to our fragile environment, benefiting us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
