Wildflower Farming in Florida

Florida's "First Farmer" of wildflowers, Terry Zinn, shares how his Alachua farm operates, from management to the species he grows. Among the topics covered are: The challenges of producing wildflower seeds and the methods used. How seeds are harvested, processed and cleaned using techniques that range from ancient methods to the latest seed-processing technologies. How seeds are tested, and how to interpret test results, as well as how to use them to determine the quantity of seed needed to plant large areas. Purchase this harvested seed from the Florida Wildflowers Growers Cooperative at http://floridawildflowers.com/. Not sure which seeds to choose?
