Nor Serocki Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Recently, Lowe's started a "SpringFest" campaign that includes free garden kits each Thursday this month. Unfortunately, a lot of these programs, historically, have included general "wildflower" seed packets which sometimes include problem species, such as baby's breath or some species of forget-me-nots. I reached out to the PR team and got a pretty good response. Though the seeds do include some that are non-native/naturalized, it largely avoids invasives. Additionally their "tree give away" is sourcing local Michigan red pines, which is such a better step then the general programs which provide the same species across their entire service area! I know a few years ago there were questions about a similar Cheerios promotion, so I wanted to get ahead of this one! Seed balls are either: Red corn poppy, lanceleaf coreopsis, purple coneflower, or wild cosmos Wildflower Seed Mix includes: baby blue eyes, black-eyed susan, candytuft, catchfly, corn poppy, English daisy, five spot, gloriosa daisy, scarlet flax, Siberian wallflower, sweet william pinks, tall spurred snapdragon, zinnia.

Katie Grzesiak Posted April 7, 2021 Report Share Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Wow! I'm actually super encouraged that there's nothing on that list that makes me want to throw up! Nice work, Lowe's. Thanks for looking into it, Nor!! @EmilyCook_ISN @Shelly Stusick check it! Edited April 7, 2021 by Katie Grzesiak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sympatricko Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 I was curious to see what was being distributed since I've noticed the prevalence of, specifically, baby's breath in a number of packets. Great job, Nor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
