Sometimes I am left to wonder how, but the world does spin on. Another winter solstice has come. The light will now grow stronger and soon there will be another opportunity for PRI to do. Just exactly what we will do remains to be determined but you can be sure that we will be planting,  managing and producing our fantastic native plants.
Although it is very early, 2012 is shaping up to be a good year. We have many projects "on the books" and there will undoubtedly be many more. There is always much to be done. Our early guess is for grass seed prices to be down, wildflower seed prices to be steady or up, plant prices to be steady or up and service prices to be up. Our catalog and price list should be available in late February.
People often ask what we do in the winter. Well, the list is actually quite long but as the years have gone by we have been out working on more projects. Buckthorn removal keeps us at least moderately busy and there are other woodland management projects as well. Perhaps more importantly, though, is the time we take to strengthen our PRI team by meeting, sharing information, learning and implementing new practices. These off-season activities are extremely important to maintaining our organization.
So, maybe that is enough for now. No deep philosophical message, just a few observations and a heartfelt wish to all of you for a great year in 2012. Happiness is the best gift you can receive and all of us at PRI hope that your native plants will bring you that happiness.
Enjoy the winter and anticipate the spring. It will be here soon.
Happy Solstice, Ron Bowen
President
