NE Minnesota native plant list, by Soil moisture and light preferences

DRAFT

Wild Ones Arrowhead Chapter

The attached lists of plants that are native to Northeastern Minnesota were prepared using a database originally created by Mary Blickenderfer, University of Minnesota Extension, Grand Rapids. The lists are based on information in Lakescaping for Wildlife and Water Quality, by Henderson, Dindorf, and Rozumalski, and published by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

The plant lists are grouped by soil moisture preferences (wet, medium, dry) and by light preferences (full sun, partial sun, shade). NOTE: Plant preferences for soil pH are also important to consider and match to your site.

Steps to Home Landscaping

Create a landscaping plan for your whole yard:

Describe your yard. Include:

Adjoining property including natural features and opportunities to link to neighboring habitat;
Location of the house, window views, neighbors, structures, sidewalks, utility lines (both above and below ground), mature trees, weak or diseased trees, vegetable gardens, current shrubbery and flower beds;
Sun including number of hours of direct sunlight;
Topography including slopes and aspects (facing directions);
Soils including drainage, pH, fertility and texture (have a soil test done);

Water such as natural seeps and roof runoff.

Think about your preferences.

How will the site be used? (entertainment, play, public, private, and quiet areas)
How long do you plan to stay in this house?
What wildlife species would you like to attract?
How much time is available for gardening?
What kinds of trees, shrubs, flowers and grasses do you desire?
Consider colors and appearances at different times of the year.

Determine how much money and time you want to spend each year and prioritize the work.

Be realistic about the size of your landscape project. Start small and add to it.

Develop a design based on your answers to the above questions, including selecting which trees, shrubs, vines and plants you wish to use and how many you’ll need.

Consult references, visit gardens and landscapes that use native plants, modify this plan.
Check to see that the plants you desire are available to purchase. Especially for larger projects, consider ordering plants in advance.

Prepare your garden/landscape sites.

Use a method appropriate for your site and preferences.
Options include newspaper and mulch, selective use of herbicides, and sod removal (see "Removing Vegetation" at http://www.epa.gov/greenacres/wildones/#HANDBOOK)

Purchase plants and plant them. Plant trees and shrubs first, then plants and vines.
Water, weed and add more mulch as necessary. AND ENJOY!
