Nestled on over 7 acres in Watseka, Illinois - Songwood is a little oasis located 75 minutes south of Chicago and an hour north of Champaign.

The Legacy of this Land
Songwood sits on what was once known as the Grand Prairie, or black soil prairie, famed for its deep, dark soil and remarkable biodiversity. In its natural state, the black soil prairie was a veritable wildflower garden with hundreds of native species—including sunflowers, coneflowers, goldenrod, milkweed, and tall grasses like big bluestem and Indian grass. Bison, elk, and deer roamed freely, grazing on the lush vegetation and sustaining the ecosystem. However, as the fertility of the soil was discovered, nearly all of Illinois' black soil prairie was converted to industrialized monocultures of corn and soybeans within just 50 years, leaving pristine tallgrass prairie now among the rarest of North America's landscapes.

Our Mission and Commitment
From thoughtful land stewardship to crafting sustainable products, we approach every part of our work with respect for the natural legacy of the land upon which Songwood now sits. Every tree planted, flower grown, and offering created is shaped by our dedication to sustainability, our craft, and to you.
