SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION PROGRAMS
For over ten years, Bentley Seeds has supplied almost all the New York State soil and water conservation district's (as well as many other soil and water conservation district's in other states) with a flexible wildflower mix program to augment their Spring tree and shrub sales.
We offer mixes in a variety of sizes and blends for almost any condition. The adaptability of wildflowers has made it a natural extension of the Conservation Districts' mission. The ease of establishment and low maintenance is a real plus for the landowner. It goes without saying that the beauty of a wildflower planting is it's number one selling feature.
