Missouri Wildflower Nursery is my favorite place to get plants so I was honored when they asked to use my picture on the cover of this years catalog. The picture (shown here) is a Monarch caterpillar munching on a Swamp Milkweed. I took it right in front of the PGT Visitor Center.

Merv Wallace owns the nursery and has been a good friend for decades. Many of the plants blooming at the Prairie Garden Trust came from Merv. The catalog is a rich source of information about gardening with native plants. You can request a catalog on their website: www.mowildflowers.net
