Prairie flowers in mid-summer bloom. This yard tour will feature approximately 35-40 prairie species in full summer bloom, a small rain garden in full sun, and a backyard woodland garden growing beneath a single oak tree.   

As you approach the Knoeppel property, you'll enjoy a beautiful view of the prairie on a hill below their home. On site, members will be able to compare an established prairie with a newly planted one. The hillside in front of the house has two prairie plantings.  The original prairie was established approximately 20 years ago by seed in in this 3/4 acre.  The second prairie was planted in fall 2018 and is approximately 1.5 acres.

The couple welcomes members to their 22 acres of wet mesic prairie  restoration and remnant prairie fen. Work on restoration, buckthorn and honeysuckle and other invasive removal has been ongoing for 20 years.  Paths are flat but maybe wet approximately  a half mile of walking.

Seed collection and tour of this 40 acre property in Oconomowoc.
