Embrace the Beautiful Chaos of Da Prairie Real Nice. Prairies may be mostly gone but that's why you gotta re-create what you can in your area if you live where they once occurred. Collect seeds, establish stock plants, then continuously spread seed around you in public parks, railroad embankments, vacant lots, median strips, and of course your own yard if you got one. Grow a ton of seedlings in your backyard or volunteer at a garden or community center and give the seedlings away or sell em cheap. We're living in the midst of a mass extinction. Native birds and insects need habitat. f you build it, they will come. The reward is a delightful sensory overload to soothe your spiritual sores and help keep the puke down.
