Diane Jones Interview

We interviewed Diane Jones last autumn and although winter is far from being over, it's time to think about spring and planting again. She runs Draggin' Wing Farm, which specializes in hardy, drought-tolerant perennials. You can find her plants at the Boise Co-Op in season, and again in the spring at the Annual Idaho Native Plant Society Plant Sale. She's also at the downtown Boise's Farmers Market Saturday mornings (also in season). You can also visit her nursery Tuesdays 9am to noon, and 5pm-8pm (in season). She is in the process of establishing demonstration beds to showcase the many varieties of xeric alternatives to lawns. and roses. Draggin' Wing Farm is located on Stinger St off Castle Drive in NW Boise. You can call her at 345-4199, or hardyplants@cableone.net.
