Since
1985 ESRS has harvested and reproduced hundreds of rangeland native
plants and seeds for the reclamation industry in Western Canada.
Production has grown over the years and the large, modern, wholesale
greenhouse and 180 acres of production beds near Calgary, Alberta
can now provide almost any type of plant in a timely and cost effective
manner.
ESRS wholesales large volumes of native seed to commercial distributors.
Providing an economic product and large volume sales has been our
specialty for the past number of years.
Producing are highly efficient grass plugs for large reclamation projects
is a major part of our business. With a 600,000 plugs/yr.
production capability no project is too large.
We provide small scale production and research and development of
new species by contract for a number of organizations and will provide
specialized production of native plant materials under contract.
s
ESRS has been growing ornamental grasses and Alberta wildflower species
for years and can provide dozens of native plants that make excellent
perennial bedding plants. ESRS contract grows these species for large
scale commercial sales. We can also entertain orders from garden centres
and horticultural societies who order a minimum of 100 plants.
It has been our experience that many people using native plants do not
have information on the methods of planting or access to equipment for
planting. ESRS has accumulated a list of companies that plant live plant
materials as well as information on seeding equipment and techniques
for planting seed.
The size of plant desired will require that you allow 4 - 6 months of
growing time. It is also important to book space ahead for large orders,
especially if collections of seed or live plant materials must occur.
Native bedding plants and other specialized native plant materials can
be grown by ESRS as custom orders, but we can only entertain large orders.
