Beautifying Teton Valley’s Scenic Byway
Imagine a corridor of wildflowers from Victor to Driggs. We’re working to make that happen!
Learn more about B on 33
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
If you received native blue flax (Linum lewisii) seeds from us, fall, winter or early spring are great times to plant them.
For best results, mix the same volume of seeds with sand or sawdust. Plant in areas where you can see bare soil; not in grassy areas.
Using a garden rake, break ground crust approximately ½ inch deep and remove large rocks. Plant no more than ¼ inch deep. Do not cover with soil; instead use a roller or just gently step on seeds to encourage contact with soil.
Best to plant in late fall or very early spring as most wildflower seeds require freezing (“cold stratification”) in order to germinate.
Happy Planting!

Shout out to super-volunteers, Laura & Randy Curtis, who spent 3 hours digging and dead-heading musk thistle on the North Side trail. They harvested 41.5 lbs of thistle seed heads. Considering that each flower contains >1000 seeds, their six hours of volunteer labor will prevent hundreds of thousands of unwanted musk thistle babies. You, too, can make a difference by just getting out there and doing something to benefit Teton Valley. It’s good for your health too! Be like Randy and Laura. And thanks for tackling invasives and encouraging natives. #bon33tv #noxiousweeds #nativewildflowers
