Native Prairie Coneflower
First flowering summer 2021. Started from seed circa 2018 by gardener Eric Rosen.
Though this perrenial was slow to blossom, the showy 5ft tall spread has been well worth the wait.
Greetings Halcotteers, community gardeners & friends of our small but mighty town.The community garden has been busy planning for a seedling & plant sale to benefit the garden over the Memorial Day weekend, next spring, 2022. We are currently looking for hardy perrenial plant donations from those of you who may have some in need of fall dividing or perhaps you may like to share a favorite you would like to see more of in our valley. We will be ready to receive your bare root offerings at the garden by mid September. There will be premixed Potting soil and pots available at the garden on the farm side access road under a blue tarp. We ask that you plan to use this soil and the pots provided to avoid spreading unwanted weeds and use plant tags to identify species and a brief description of origins of the plant. Tales of the how, when and why a plant found itself in your garden are highly encouraged. The plan is to overwinter the pots heeled in at the community garden and protected with mulch so we are looking for hardy varieties only.

This plant is from my backyard in Halcott
This plant was known for its medicinal qualities. The deer love it.
Hardy Shrub Rose
Odell Kelly gave these roses every year for Mother’s Day to Mildred and she planted them in the side yard of our house. He described them as Jackson & Perkins roses. They are self propagating from a spreading root habit, have mid size blooms in a variety of pinks from late June to early July and have a delectable classic rose scent.
