“The practice of conservation must spring from a conviction of what is ethically and aesthetically right, as well as what is economically expedient. A thing is right only when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the community, and the community includes the soil, waters, fauna, and flora, as well as people." - Aldo Leopold - |

05 thanks for joining us on this journey! We are a women-owned business started by three friends who met at a local native plant garden club. Together we realized there was a lack of locally grown, native, pesticide-free plants in southeastern Massachusetts, so we decided to do something about it. We specialize in growing native plants from seed whenever possible, so as to encourage genetic diversity, and only straight-species, no ‘cultivars’. We are committed to using environmentally mindful growing practices. We believe in leading by example using sustainable practices in our homes as well as our business, and our commitment to increasing bio-diversity and restoring our local ecosystems drive our daily actions and long-term goals. We are so excited to begin this journey, and we would love for you to join us. Grab a shovel, let’s go! We have some planting to do!
Cheers,
Jasmin, Britt, and Kristen |
