We thank you for your interest in utilizing native plant material to improve the quality of life in the Midwest. Please let us know how we can tailor our products and services to meet your needs. Greetings from Spence Restoration Nursery Thank you for your continued interest in the use of native plants and seeds for ecological restoration, storm water treatment, and landscaping. We greatly appreciate your business and continue to expand our product line to me your needs. As part of our expanded seed production, we purchased a property in 2011 containing a 7 acre fen. This fen will be carefully stewarded to produce seed of conservative species such as Tussock Sedge (Carex stricta). The surrounding degraded woodlands have been cleared of invasive shrubs to produce seeds for our upland woodland seed mixes. In 2012, we purchased additional farm acreage to increase our production of native grass seed. Our growing seed production ensures that we will be able to provide local origin seeds for projects in Indiana and adjacent that you receive material adapted to local conditions. Please see page 28 for more about the yellow tag program. Our large plant inventory insures availability of plugs for popular applications such as rain gardens, pond edge installations, and wetland mitigation basins. We continue to lead in provid- Practices. Please see pages 35 through 37 for more about plications. Our website contains a wealth of information about native cations for installation of native plants and seeds in a variety of commercial applications. Further, the website contains instructional videos on installation and maintenance of native plant communities. Please see the inside front cover for more about.

4 2 Spence Restoration Nursery Start a Naturalized Planting Utilizing Plugs plant community. Results are much more reliable and rapid than seeding. A light organic mulch may be used to reduce weed growth and retain moisture. Watering is essential for following steps outline installation of a plug planting If the site is covered with weeds or lawn grasses, kill this vegetation either with a Glyphosate Herbicide (Roundup ) or through a sod-cutter, frequent tilling, or other mechanical means. This may not be necessary in shaded areas where vegetation is sparse. The area may be covered with a black leaf compost or other rapidly decomposing organic mulch. This mulch with chip or bark mulches are not recommended as they decompose slowly, possibly rotting the crowns of the native perennials and interfering with burn maintenance. Install plugs on one foot centers. Woodland areas week until plugs are established. on our website Mycorrhizal Inoculation: a vital part of plant community restoration Long ago, plants evolved a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi are root-inhabiting organisms that colonize the root hairs to obtain sugars produced by the plant. The fungi strands provide the plant with greatly improved access to water and essential nutrients. Establishment of a diverse native plant community requires the presence of a healthy mycorrhizal fungi (mycelia) that form this mycorrhizal network. This network allows a stable native plant community to thrive and resist invasion of weeds. Destruction of this network is the central event of soil disturbance and its re-establishment is essential to ecosystem restoration. fungi network has been destroyed or where soil structure has been disrupted by grading for commercial or residential development, mining, or mine reclamation. Other sites requiring reestablishment of the mycorrhizal network include those subjected to intensive agriculture, severe erosion, overgrazing, or domination by weedy species. Native Plant Communities Wooded Communities Communities dominated by trees where the resulting shade dictate the understory composition. Dry Woods Occurs on well drained soil on ridges or slopes with south or west exposures. Soils are often thin sandy or gravely. Overstory is typically oak-hickory. Rich woodlands often dominated by beech and sugar maple. areas, as well as, north or east facing slopes. Wet mesic Woods Ash. Wet Woods Woods that are seasonally inundated, typically in the spring. Characteristic overstory trees include red and silver maples, green ash, and several species of oaks. Savannas Areas dominated by widely spaced or scattered trees so that they canopy is open or not complete. Usually dominated by various oaks with a mixture of woodland, prairie, and edge Prairies Open communities of grasses, sedges, and rich variety of Dry Prairies Occur on well-drained upland soils, often on sloping, sandy, or Grama, and Prairis Dropseed.

5 Root Development: A Critical Difference Spence Restoration Nursery 3 Spence Restoration Nursery plants The network of roots is spread throughout the container with no encircling tendencies. Our 2 3/8 square production of a healthy root system that spreads rapidly into the soil after the transplanting. Open bottom pots allow water to move freely into and out of the pot. of roots to acquire moisture and nutrients from poor and dry soil conditions. Plants from other growers Due to the closed bottom and tapered shape of the pot, there is a mass of encircling roots at the bottom. When transplanted, roots are bound up and take longer to spread out into the soil. The roots may become so dense as to clog drain holes in the bottom of the pot. A lack of mycorrhizal inoculatoin may reduce establishment success on Our Plugs are Bigger Spence Restoration Nursery s Plugs are the biggest by volume in the industry. The volume of our open bottom pots means Below are volume comparisons with other commonly used plug sizes. Container: Traditional Volume: in cubic inches Grass, and Prairie Dropseed. Wet Prairie and Prairie Cordgrass. Like all prairies it is typically maintained Shallow Water Emergent An area typically inundated for much of the growing season, but with under 1 foot of water depth. These areas are often exposed in mid to late summer as the water level recedes. Rushes. Deep Water Emergent or Floating Leaf Community Areas typically inundated with 1 to 3 feet of water. These areas are normally rarely exposed even in dry weather. Typically plants include water lilies and various submerged species. Wetland Communities An open wetland community occurring on saturated or seasonally inundated locations. Typically dominated by various species of sedges, especially Tussock Sedge.

6 4 Spence Restoration Nursery Seed Mixes We have developed the following seed mixes for restoration of native plant communities in natural and landscape settings. Unlike many commercial mixes that contain species that will only grow in sandy soils, our mixes are widely adapted to variety of soil conditions in the southern Great Lakes and OhioValley. These mixes are composed of seeds of known genotype produced here at our seed nursery. When we need to purchase seeds to complete a mix, we locate seed with an origin as close to the installation site as possible. If a species in unavailable we will substitute an appropriate similar species. All of our mixes contain all of the species listed or an appropriate substitute, so rest assured that the diversity that you paid for is the diversity that you will receive. If one of our mixes does not meet your restoration goals, we will be happy to custom design a seed mix for your site. We have the experience and knowledge to design a regionally appropriate seed mix for your geology, soil, and desired plant community. See note on page 6 about cover crops available for our seed mixes.
