STORE 

 Example Image <http://www.xerces.org/imagesforcc/nativecube.jpg> 

When you are ready to take the next step, the Xerces Society's new online
Conservation Seed Store can provide you with quality ingredients to realize
your plans. Working with leading wildflower seed producers in each region of
the United States, the Society developed pre-mixed blends of some of the
best pollen and nectar plants available. Local seed that is not treated with
pesticides is used wherever possible. Currently, the Seed Store offers only
larger quantities of seed (suitable for habitat enhancement projects) but
garden clubs, master gardeners, or groups of friends can benefit from the
wholesale pricing by buying together and dividing the seed. Additional
selection and packet sizes are coming soon, including small garden packets
and butterfly host plants.

 garden <http://www.xerces.org/imagesforcc/BBgardencube.jpg> 

For gardens, the Society also offers the Bumble Bee Garden Kit. This
38-plant collection includes ten of North America's best bumble bee flowers,
species such as purple coneflower, purple prairie clover, bottle gentian,
wild bergamot, and New England aster, as well as a native bunch grass to
provide potential nest sites. When mature, the plants will cover about 40
square feet. Suitable for garden settings (as opposed to natural areas) in
most of the country, the kit will provide bloom from spring to fall,
supporting bumble bees throughout their active season. The Bumble Bee Garden
Kit can be ordered through Earth Day (April 22) for shipment during National
Pollinator Week (June 20 - 26) 2011.
