At Draggin’ Wing Farm we are entering our seventh year of growing drought-hardy land-scape plants for Southern Idaho. Each year we experiment with new plants and are able to increase our range of available stock.
We are especially committed to working with species that are native to Southern Idaho and the Northern Rocky Mountain/Great Basin region. We also offer a variety of terrific xeric plants from other geographic regions, like the American Southwest, the Mediterranean and even South Africa.
We propagate most of our plants here at the nursery from seeds or cuttings, many collected locally. We use organic fertilizers and no chemical pesticides.
Our goal is to help you create landscapes with more beauty and less water!
