Blooming Prairie Nursery began in 1997 in founder Bob Wubben’s backyard. Prior to that, he had been involved in Iowa native prairie restoration since the mid-1990s while employed by the Iowa Department of Transportation as the Roadside Vegetation Manager for five counties in northern Iowa. Everything that comes from Blooming Prairie Nursery is indigenous and native to Iowa in all aspects; from the soil and compost to the seed, flowers, and grasses, it all comes from our natural Iowa ecosystem.
