Can you picture nearly three acres of freshly sprouted wildflowers?
If you’re a client of Makin' it Local, chances are—yep—you absolutely can.
While our 2025 totals aren’t quite wrapped up (we’re still counting December!), our GoWildSisters pollinator program has already sprinkled the world with 1,250 wildflower seed packets. Every ART purchase gets one tucked inside.
Add in another 150 packets for special promotions and 250 more for Fourth Friday Art Walk festivities, and we're looking at roughly 1,650 seed packets—that’s about 14 pounds of Oregon’s finest native wildflower mix. Fourteen pounds is enough to bloom nearly 3 acres of color across the gardens, flowerbeds, and wild nooks of 1,600 customers and friends of Makin’ it Local. The bees and butterflies are definitely giving standing ovations.
Why wildflowers?
After 30+ years in the art and custom framing world—26 of them right here in Central Oregon—we still remember one of our earliest family hikes. A jaw-dropping meadow of wildflowers and lupine near Three Fingered Jack (along with some overly enthusiastic mosquitoes) hooked us for life. We went home, planted our first Central Oregon wildflower garden, and it’s delighted us every year since.
What we didn’t realize at first was the vital role those blooms played for pollinators—bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and more. Now we know. And now we sow. And now we share.
Want your own packet?
Easy! Any art purchase over $30 at Makin’ it Local comes with a wildflower packet.
Every March Fourth Friday Art Walk features our giant Wildflower Packet Giveaway, and each Art Walk includes a fun Instagram giveaway, too.
