“We are excited to invite the public for the fall opening of our Native Plant Nursery and offer plants that sustain our local ecosystem,” said Tina Notas, D&R Greenway’s Director of Land Stewardship.
President & CEO Linda Mead added: “Our knowledgeable staff and volunteers will be on hand to answer your questions and steer you to the best choices for your yard. By planting natives, you are acting against climate change and protecting the species of birds, butterflies and pollinators that need these plants for survival!”
Native plants play a crucial role in sustaining biodiversity, requiring less irrigation and no fertilizer. They provide essential food sources for pollinators, such as the monarch butterfly, which depends on milkweed for both nectar and caterpillar habitat.
