Another prairie garden I did an initial design for. I visited a few years after it was planted in late summer to take photos. It might inspire you or give you ideas or you might see plants you need, but beware not all plants are native. Several donated plants had to be included that were not prairie. Ask me questions in the comments.

Here's that prairie plant list I promised you! I'll type one up in notes that includes the botanical names and expands on some of them.
My favorite nursery is Prairie Nursery in Westfield, WI. They sell by the flat and by mail order or pick up so it's not as fun as when they had a retail nursery, but they have quality plants. Ask them for a paper catalog, or use their website as a resource.

Happy Virtual Prairie Days!
I've drawn up the steps of a very basic prairie garden design for you. Because I can, I've assumed a fairly typical suburban home lot that is 100 feet wide. I'm assuming that it's got nothing else out there such as trees or sheds or play structures. Obviously if you had those things you would have to allow for them and allow for access to them. I am also assuming there is not a solid wooden fence which wood cause shade on its north side that would be to dark to grow prairie plants. Shade tolerant plants would have to be substituted for the north side of a fence. The captions to each photograph will tell you what's going on. So get yourself some graph paper and a pencil and a tape measure and maybe a partner to help you measure your yard where you want your prairie garden and design aliyng.

In addition to the prairie garden at the corner of High Street and Commerce Street in Mineral Point, I have a prairie front yard at the home where I am covid-tining in La Valle, WI. Here's what's happening in that garden today.
