Prairie Nurseries

Note: We recommend that local genotype plant material be used for your restoration site. This insures that the plants you install will be highly adapted to your region, and this practice protects nearby wild plant populations from being overwhelmed by potentially mal-adapted genes. Therefore, we recommend that you purchase plant materials from a grower in your region.

Gerard & Greene, Native Plant Nursery and Landscape Design
Keith Nowakowski

I am a landscape designer specializing in the use of native plants. In addition, I propagate local ecotype natives (in 2.5 inch pots) for use in the gardens I design and for sale at local (Chicagoland) farmers markets.

In addition, a book I have written, and published by the University of Illinois Extension, "Native Plants in the Home Landscape, For the Upper Midwest" will be available this May through the UI Extension at 1-800-345-6087. Several members of the Grand Prairie Friends, including Steve Hill, Paul Tessene, Ken Robertson, John Marlin, and Jim and Mare Payne, helped with the book in sharing their native landscaping experiences with me while I was a graduate student in landscape architecture.
