EC Fall Native Plant Sale We are already hard at work preparing plants for the annual EC Fall Native Plant Sale on September 10th and 11th. Pre-orders will be accepted any time between now and Wednesday, September 8th. If you can't wait that long to get planting, there are other opportunities to purchase plants in August.
Maryland Native Plant Society Annual Fall Conference: On September 25 and 26, 2010 the Maryland Native Plant Society, headquartered in Silver Spring, and Environmental Concern of St. Michaels, are co-sponsoring a conference “Biodiversity of Maryland’s Eastern Shore” to be held at Chesapeake College, in Wye Mills.
Native Seed Collection Sites Sought We are looking for local seed collection sites. If you have naturally occurring stands of native vegetation on your property (or have planted large areas with straight species natives) and wouldn’t mind sharing your seeds, please e-mail the Nursery Manager with approximate location and size of property, and describe the habitat type or list individual plant species. If you have a species we need, we’ll make arrangements with you to come out and collect the seed at the appropriate time, and provide you with a discount for your next order.
Learning Opportunity If you would like to learn more about Native Plants and Invasive Species, we recommend signing up for Sylvan Kaufman’s program on Thursday, October 21st, 2010 @ 6:00 pm at Kingstown Farm, Home and Garden. Click here for more details.
