Mielikki’s
Grower Code: MI
Maija started working the soil in her Boise garden in 2017; like many, what started as a hobby became an obsession, and seed-related pursuits are now her full-time gig. She has since founded Mielikki’s with the goal of cultivating perennials native/adapted to the Treasure Valley to rehabilitate pollinator habitat and populations. She hopes to serve as an additional local source of education and support for those adding native, xeric, drought-tolerant, and other beneficial plants to their landscape. Mielikki’s first perennial seed crop for SRSC will be hesperaloe parviflora grown from seed collected from her neighbor (may no viable seed go to waste!).
