LOOKING FOR GRASS OR WILDFLOWER SEEDS? CALL US!

Each Soil & Water Conservation District is a self-supporting, non-profit organization. Our purpose is to improve the support we give to our landowners. For example, every year the Gillespie Co. SWCD sponsors an awards banquet for six students that have winning essays and posters on conservation. We also sponsor young students from this county who wish to attend a summer Youth Range Workshop.

We have partnered with Turner Seed Company to sell grass, wildflower, and wildlife seed. You can call or come by our office to order from a large selection of grass, wildflower, and wildlife seeds in bulk quantities. We place the order for you. Your seed is shipped to us the day or the day after the order is placed. You'll be called when we receive the seed and it's ready for pick-up at our office. There will not be freight charged on your order (unless the seed is under $1.00 per pound). You must pay for the seed when you pick it up from our district office.

A few of the many grass seeds available are Kleingrass, Wilman Lovegrass, WW-B Dahl, Switchgrass, Indiangrass, Sideoats gamma, Little Bluestem, and Big Bluestem. Illinois (Sabine) Bundleflower, Engelmanndaisy, and Partridge Pea are a few of the forbs offered. Texas Perennial Wildlife Mix and Tank Dam Mixture are two of six perennial grass and forb mixtures available. Over 30 kinds of individual wildflower seeds are available. Two mixtures—Texas Native Spring Mixture and Starburst Spring Mixture each have 15 or 16 types of wildflower seeds. Many wildlife seeds are offered, too, including two mixtures – Spring Deer Mix and Quail & Turkey Mix.

This seed program allows the districts to provide the customer good service, and orders are freight free. This saves the landowner time and money. Give us a call at 830-997-3349 ext. 3 for more information on Seeding Recommendations of species and seeding rates. We’re glad to help, and we can send you a list of available seeds and prices.
