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!
Victor Native Wildflower Demonstration Garden
We are installing the Native Plant Garden in June/July. Come help us fill the planters and plant wildflowers on the evenings of June 30, July 1 & &. These raised beds will provide an opportunity for visitors and residents to get acquainted with our native wildflowers.
