Dear Jeremy, 

Thanks for reaching out; it sounds like you have a fun project ahead of you! 

Here's a helpful article from the UMN Extension on planting and maintaining a prairie garden: https://extension.umn.edu/planting-and-growing-guides/planting-and-maintaining-prairie-garden

The guide includes tips on plants to select, seeding advice, and how to care for the plants. 

The DNR also has lots of useful resources here: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/gardens/nativeplants/index.html

Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions after reviewing these links!
