All of our native plant varieties are straight species, meaning that no cultivars will be sold. It has been found that cultivars often do not have the same benefits to wildlife that straight species do. Our focus on native species will help our native pollinators, increase biodiversity, and conserve our native plants and animals, among other benefits.

We will not be selling any ornamental non-native bulbs. We hope those of you who are traditional gardeners will look at our native plants, as they can be just as gorgeous and hold significant value to our native pollinators and other wildlife. Some natives that we are providing are also great alternatives to invasive plants such as Winged Euonymus and non-native turf grasses.

Several of the species we are selling are fromDr. Gegear’s recommended plant list. Dr. Robert Gegear is an Assistant Professor of Biology at Umass Dartmouth; he runs the Gegear Lab which offers plant recommendations for at-risk bumblebees based on species level field research. These species on his list provide nectar and pollen to at-risk native pollinators, such as three species of bumblebees, the Yellow-banded bumblebee (Bombus terricola), Golden Northern bumblebee (Bombus fervidus), and the Half-Black bumblebee (Bombus vagans).

The plant sale ordering deadline is April 21s so please come to our website and help diversify your garden!
