Custom Seed Mixes & Mix Suggestions
We can assist you in designing a mix that works for your site, or you can give us your specifications for your own mix. There are no extra charges for custom mixed seed; we will still only charge you the per-pound price for each species in your mix. If you want to use our over-the-phone consulting services and have us design a mix for you at no charge, please visit our Services page for more information.

Mix Suggestions
There are many species assemblages that we frequently recommend to our customers. Match up your own site description with one listed below to see what species may work there. A great resource for rural or agricultural plantings is a publication called "Bringing Farm Edges Back to Life" published by the Yolo County Resource
Conservation District.
