Restoring Minnesota's Native Landscapes, One Seed at a Time.
Since 1977, Prairie Restorations, Inc. has stood as one of the pioneering companies in the United States dedicated to the restoration and management of native plant communities.
Native plants are crucial for maintaining biodiversity in Prairies, Wetlands, Woodlands and Shorelines. They support local ecosystems and restore natural habitats to help prevent soil erosion, improve water quality, and provide food and shelter for wildlife, all while requiring less water and maintenance due to their natural adaptation to the local environment.

Once your native landscape is installed, the next few years require management and expert care to stay healthy and vibrant.
