Seed Blends

We offer mixes that we’ve designed, a Pollinator Mix for the mixed grass prairie, designed with help from the Xerces Society that includes up to 65 species native to the prairie regions of Canada and the Northern United States, and a Bunchgrass/Prairie clover mix, designed as a basic mix to which you can add wildflower seed. We also will help you to design a mix that is suitable for your needs and for your area.

Custom Cleaning

Skinner Native Seeds has 20 years of cleaning native grasses, both warm season and cool season, and native forbs. We have the equipment and the know-how to turn your seed into a saleable product.

Custom Seed Collection

If you know your wildflower seed needs, contact us in the spring and we’ll do our best to collect, dry, and process the seed you need so that it is ready for fall delivery. This is particularly effective for larger orders.
We are able to harvest almost any species native to the mixed-grass prairie and Aspen parkland in Manitoba.

Contract Growing

Skinner Native Seeds has over 20 years of experience growing native seed on a contract basis for restoration projects, seed companies, and national parks across the Canadian prairies. We can provide the seed to grow for you, or increase your seed to maintain your local genetics.

Custom Restoration

Skinner Native Seeds has the equipment, seed stock, and experience to ensure that your restoration project of any size is a success. We are focused on high species diversity and genetic diversity with grass and wildflower seed sourced from wild populations adapted to the Canadian Prairies. We can plan and implement any stage of native prairie restoration for any size of site from pre planting weed control to seeding a custom seed mix to post seeding monitoring and management.
