A beautiful landscape that tows the line between forest and grassland. Debates abound, is it a woodland? Or is it an open canopy forest? Regardless, the Oak Savana subsection of Minnesota spans 1,819,571 acres across parts of 11 different counties. It is a hugely diverse ecosystem dotted by Oaks, Pines and Poplar with an open canopy that allows a mix of grasses and forbs to populate the ground layer. Inspired by the rolling hills of Burnsville this kit shines a spotlight on a forgotten ecosystem by combining bunch grasses and prairie flowers with sun and drought tolerant woodland species. When you plant an oak you should plant it with its friends like sedges, asters and goldenrods \u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit contains 1x Oak sapling per kit.  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis kit requires Full to Part Sun conditions with medium moisture conditions.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended for 30 - 50 sq. ft.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s in Each Kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18x perennial and biennial plants in 3.5\" pots (*NOTE: 2.5\" Substitutions below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4–6x different species, depending on which kit you choose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30–50% graminoids (grasses, sedges, rushes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1x Oak tree sapling!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy kits make sense:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant money savings.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant garden design.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstant ecological impact. \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy we changed our Grower’s Kit format from 2025 to 2026? Previously, our kits used a higher number of 2.5” Power Plugs. They were great plants, but we found that newcomers to gardening struggled with spacing, layout, installation and maintenance with such small starts. The 2026 kits now features larger 3.5\" pots because they lead to higher success rates! Typically, bigger pots = quicker establishment, faster bloom time and a smoother experience for first‑time native gardeners without breaking the bank on gallon sizes you get at most conventional garden centers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About Grower’s Choice Kits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are new to native plants, overwhelmed by choice or looking to achieve a specific goal with your landscaping, our Grower's Choice Kits are a straightforward way to get started with confidence.
