Camas is a Native Edible

Camas is a Native Edible

Every spring, our side grove is flooded with purple and white camas (Camassia quamash). Camas bulbs are edible and were a food staple for many native peoples in the western United States and Canada.

Butterflies Love Echinacea

Butterflies Love Echinacea

Echinacea purpea displays it's magical purplish pink blooms for the majority of the growing season. In the fall, all parts of the plant are often harvested for medicinal use in teas, tinctures, etc. They're beautiful accents in perrenial gardens and attract a wide variety of butterflies, bees, & native pollinators.

Plant Propagation

Plant Propagation

Everything we sell has been propagated by seed or by plant cuttings on site at Rainbow Grove using a range of different techniques. These figs and kiwis in our greenhouse were propagated by hardwood cuttings taken a few months prior. After a few months, we place them in #1 gallon pots where they grow for a year before they are sold or planted in our food forest.

Lupine Fixes Nitrogen

Lupine Fixes Nitrogen

Lupine shoots up gorgeous displays of long conical flowers in the spring. In addition to being drought tolerant and perennial, Lupines are also great nitrogen fixers, taking nitrogen from the air and accumulating it in root nodules which can then be shared with nearby plants through mycorrhizae in the soil.

Bees Love Borage

Bees Love Borage

Bumble, honey, and native bees love borage and so do we! The edible flowers add color and a spicy cucumber flavor to our salads. They're not perennial, but they quickly grow into a bush in a couple months and readily reseed themselves year after year.
