Organizations Filed Purposes:
TO PROMOTE THE USE OF NATIVE PLANTS AND HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS.
WE INSPIRE PEOPLE TO ACTION ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH, ON BEHALF OF NATIVE PLANTS AND THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE THEY SUPPORT. WE BELIEVE THAT CONSERVATION AND STEWARDSHIP BEGIN AT HOME, AND THAT OUR INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS HAVE AN IMPORTANT IMPACT ON THE WORLD AROUND US. FROM THAT FRAMEWORK, WE CAN BUILD NEIGHBORHOODS AND COMMUNITIES THAT WORK TOGETHER, WITH A VIEW OF THE ECOSYSTEM AS OUR SHARED COMMONS, WORTHY OF CARE BY ALL, SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT THE RICHNESS OF LIFE, BOTH LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY.
EVENINGS WITH EXPERTS - FREE PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES AT THE CAMBRIDGE PUBLIC LIBRARY FEATURING EXPERTS ON NATIVE PLANT LANDSCAPES AND ECOLOGICAL LAND STEWARDSHIP. THESE EVENTS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. VIDEOS ARE CREATED OF THESE LECTURES AND ARE POSTED ON OUR WEBSITE. COMBINED, THESE LECTURES AND VIDEOS REACH OVER 1,500 PEOPLE EACH YEAR.
NATIVE PLANT SALE - ONCE A YEAR, WE WORK WITH 10 DIFFERENT NURSERIES TO OFFER MORE THAN 130 SPECIES OF NATIVE PLANTS TO THE PUBLIC. THIS ENCOURAGES THE PUBLIC TO BUY NATIVE PLANTS AND HELPS BUILD A STRONGER DEMAND FOR NATIVES WITHIN THE NURSERY INDUSTRY, PROMOTING AN ECOLOGICAL SHIFT IN GROWING PRACTICES.
WORKSHOPS AND DEMONSTRATION GARDEN - WE OFFER BOTH TRAVELING AND ON-SITE WORKSHOPS ABOUT ECOLOGICAL GARDENING, THE IMPORTANCE OF NATIVE PLANTS, AND RELATED TOPICS. WE HAVE A DEMONSTRATION GARDEN THAT PROVIDES HANDS-ON LEARNING FOR WORKING WITH NATIVE PLANTS.
