If you did start your very own Wildflower Meadow or Field last fall, congratulations! You're in a very select group of Gardeners that have that exclusive badge. So why not start your own wildflower meadow, border or garden right off this Spring with our special brand and mix of 100% Bloomcoat or Loft's 100% Wildflower Seeds that we use along Pennsylvania roads, on customers' properties or in our own 2 acre wildflower meadow. You should see this in bloom as you come up our driveway on the left side all through the Spring, Summer and Fall! Simply ask at the Front Desk or stop at the Wildflower Display in the Main Showroom; we can show you how to do it, or do it for you quickly. Either way, you get the prestige and attention that having a Wildflower Meadow, Field or Border commands.
