Why "Prairie Birthday" ?

“During every week from April to September there are, on the average, ten wild plants coming into first bloom. In June, as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them. He who steps unseeing on May dandelions may be hauled up short by August ragweed pollen; he who ignores the ruddy haze of April elms may skid his car on the fallen corollas of June catalpas. Tell me of what plant birthday a man takes notice, and I shall tell you a good deal about his vocation, his hobbies, his hay fever, and the general level of his ecological education” (Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac, Prairie Birthday Essay, 1949). Reconstructed prairie on the Farm allows us the privilege of celebrating wild plant birthdays!
