Another one from the vault.

Built through real freeze-thaw cycles. Chinooks. Heavy snow. Dry summers. The whole works.

No guesswork, just decades of knowing what lasts here.

Rooted here since the 70's. Built for where we live.

The Home + Garden Show is always a highlight for us, not just because of the plants but because of the people.

We loved seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and talking about all things trees, shrubs, grasses, and perennials. The conversations, the questions, the stories — that’s what makes it worth it.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and took a piece of the farm home with them.

Spring is coming. We’re ready.

Our 2025 season.

Long days, early mornings, and a lot of hands working together.

Grateful for our crew, our partners, and everyone who supports the farm year after year.

On to another strong season ahead, with spring just around the corner.

We get asked this a lot: what happens on a tree farm in the winter?

Winter is preparation. It’s a tight window to get ready for the season ahead.

If we’re not set by the time spring hits, we’re already behind.

Prairie hardy isn’t a slogan. It’s a stress test.

Out here, plant material doesn’t grow in perfect conditions. It’s exposed to sudden temperature swings, deep freezes, drying winds, and the kind of weather shifts most regions never see.

A Chinook is a warm, dry wind that can push winter temperatures above zero in a matter of hours. Sounds nice, until the root ball warms up enough to think it’s spring. Once that happens, buds start to push. Then the cold snaps back. That tender new growth dies.

That’s why fall watering matters. A properly saturated root ball freezes in solid and stays stable. Even during warm Chinook days, moisture helps regulate soil temperature and prevents premature wake-ups.

When we say prairie hardy, we mean plants that have survived this cycle — not just looked good in a greenhouse.

The old elm in your yard? It still needs guidance.

Strategic pruning protects structure, reduces risk, and preserves the character that took decades to grow.

If you care about the long-term health of your tree, watch this.

We had a serious data problem.

We had late data.
We had missing data.
We had unavailable data.

And we needed to be able to have the information at our fingertips to make the right decisions on the fly.

This is the story of how we built a system that serves our team and our clients with the efficiency, clarity, and organization we were missing.
