I am looking for 5 to 20 acres of land where I can plant my inventory of well over 10,000 perennial native wildflowers to create a tourist attraction and create additional pollinator habitats.

Looking for the following:

Type of opportunity:

Lease (1 to 5 Years), Business Partnership. More info: I have an inventory of well over 10,000 perennial native wildflowers and am wanting to open a pollinator park, and/or provide plants to create pollinator habitats across the Carolinas. My primary focus is creating habitats in areas that are being mowed, taken over by invasive plants, or otherwise currently do not support native wildlife. I utilize proprietary methods to maximize the production of new plants each year. Excellent references available upon request.

Current farming practices:

Ecological production but not certified.

Qualifications and goals:

Production goals:

Flowers.

Personal experience and production goals summary:

I have been gardening for fifty years, and developing my perennial native wildflower propogation methods for the past seven years.  My primary focus is on pollinator attracting native wildflowers that produce new shoots, can be divided, and/or root from cuttings . . . all of which bloom in their first season.  Once my current inventory is planted, I expect to have as many as 20,000 plants blooming this year, and well over 100,000 additional plants each year after that will have to be thinned out to maintain proper spacing in the pollinator park/nursery.
