B on 33: Beautifying Our Byways 

B on 33 aims to restore native wildflowers and grasses to benefit native pollinators, reduce noxious weeds and beautify our scenic byway.  The project will encompass the eight miles (~100 acres of land) along the bike path connecting Victor to Driggs parallel to Idaho State Highway 33.

Planting Instructions

For best results, mix the same volume of seeds with sand or sawdust.  Plant in areas where you can see soil, not in grassy areas.

Using a garden rake, break ground crust no more than ½ inch deep and remove large rocks.  Plant to more than ¼ inch deep.  Do not rake; use a roller or just step on seeds. 

Best to plant in the Fall before the 2nd frost or in early Spring.

Happy Thanksgiving and deepest gratitude to our wonderful community and those who help support native pollinators and native vegetation. The 🐝🦋 thank you. #bon33tv #nativewildflowers #beautifyourbyway

Late fall before the snow flies is a great time to plant native wildflower seeds so they can cold stratify over the long winter and get ready to germinate when spring finally arrives. This Thanksgiving week, come join the B on 33 team to sow native wildflower seeds on Saturday November 29 from 11am til 1 pm. Meet at the parking lot on Hwy 33 and Cedron Road in Victor. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C094EAFA728A2F9CF8-60690158-native

Hey valley gardeners and native wildflower enthusiasts, B on 33 is looking for community engagement/citizen participation in sustainable collection of native wildflower seed from your property or other sites that you have permission to harvest from to add to our seed stores for planting native wildflowers along the Highway 33 bike path corridor. Sustainable seed collection means harvesting no more than 10-15% of the available seeds from a given plant - leaving enough for native wildlife and continued propagation of the plants. Seeds should be completely dry and placed in a clearly labeled paper bag or other suitable container until November planting. Chaff is fine as some of these seeds will be hand scattered. Deliver collected and clearly labeled seeds any time between now and November 15 to Food Shed Idaho. We can only take verified Teton Valley NATIVE WILDFLOWER SPECIES. If in doubt, please do not donate them to us. We don't want to plant non-natives no matter how pretty they may be. Please use the following species list: - Blue Flax - Arrowleaf balsamroot - Native Western Yarrow (white only) - Oregon grape (Mahonia Berberis repens) - Showy goldeneye (Heliomeris multiflora) - Sticky geranium (Geranium viscosissimum) - Silky lupine (Lupinus sericeus) - Fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium) - Meadow aster (Aster campestris) Thank you for your help in spreading native wildflower seeds with B on 33: Beautifying Our Byway #nativewildflowers #NativePollinator #seedsaving
