Perennial Wild Flowers for the Prairies

Join Joanne Blythe, Nikki Moggey and Candace Savage of Wild about Saskatoon as they introduce you to a dozen beautiful, easy-to-grow perennial flowering plants that are attuned to our climate and our local ecology.

Cities are not only built. They are also planted. The grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees in our yards and public spaces create habitat for creatures large and small. By choosing perennials that provide food and shelter for a wide variety of species, we can turn ordinary urban places into biodiversity hotspots. In particular, we can support the life-sustaining process of pollination, simply by choosing plants that are attuned to the needs of our native pollinating insects.

Check our SPS Library page for an index of possible books for sale.
