- There's a volunteer group traveling all over Tennessee with a unique mission - to save our state's native plants. You’ll find the Native Plant Rescue Squad, transplanting everything from alum root to yellow trillium to save them before they are lost to construction and logging sites.
Beautiful... an important mission!! :)
So awesome of y’all!
Thanks for doing what you do. It makes it so much easier to garden with natives. The plants that we bought from you guys three years ago are doing so well - the dogwood, coneflowers, black eyed susans are all leafing out. (The blackberry in particular went nuts. We stuck one scraggly blackberry twig in the ground and it's now a 10'x4' thicket.)
amazing work. Just jumping in to native plant growth. Got beauties at Strawberry Plains plant sale. Over but was allowed to go and purchase some remaining.
Great work!
Love what y'all are doing - would be nice if we could put a stop to the development though, especially with endangered species effected.
Exact same thing we do here on a part time basis in northern NJ. However we find that so many people are afraid of being sued even though we have a release of demands that they just plow the plants under. It is amazing the thousands of plants lost each year in every state.
Great story.
Would like to express interest in what you are doing. Can I help?
I’m a local knoxville resident and will be moving into a new home in the fall with a big yard. I want to plant mostly native plants. I also have a dog and want plants that aren’t toxic to him. Any recommendations?
This gives me hope to form relationships with developers. Maybe somehow that can be a way to start getting more attention that some guy wants these plants and we are bulldozing them.
I love the idea and use of native plants. I am struggling to find a list or directory on what to use where. Is there a resource for that?
There's a lot of them! Here's one for the US. (www.plantnative.org/reg_pl_main.htm) If you're not there, you can google the words "native plants list' with your state or region name to get different lists.
I walk out in nature preserves and id plants with inaturalist. In addition, I buy books specific to my region and I am a member of the South Carolina Native Plant Society. You learn so much from groups like them.
You have any good idea's how to get rid of thorn bushes ? I just bought land in Decatur and the thorn bushes there just tear you to shreds when you walk on the land.
Do you sell the plants?
