About

Prairie Shore Botanicals is located near Gardenton, Manitoba, on the northern edge of what was once a vast sea of tall grass prairie.  Here, the Manitoba Tall Grass Prairie Preserve contains sizeable prairie remnants where one can still experience the mesmerizing wave-like motion of grasses and sedges as they sway rhythmically in the wind.

Prairie Shore Botanicals is dedicated to increasing public knowledge of, and respect for, the beauty, diversity and usefulness of wild plants through specialized skills classes, presentations,  consulting services, and sustainably harvested products.  Prairie Shore Botanicals believes in high quality products and services that don’t contain “fluff”.  This is reflected in the intensive style of teaching, practical product packaging, and straight-forward sharing of information. Maximum hands-on learning is incorporated into every presentation, workshop and course.

Prairie Shore Botanicals is proud to be partnered with At Nature’s Pace and Domestic Diva.
