Mother natives has installed and continues to maintain two public native plant gardens, creating pollinator-friendly spaces that benefit both people and wildlife. We also provide a free community seed library at our nursery, which is open to all community members and supports resource sharing and food sovereignty. In addition, we are working toward a sustainable business model by growing plants on-site with the goal of keeping nursery prices affordable and accessible. These efforts reduce barriers to gardening, expand ecological education, and strengthen community connections through shared stewardship of the land.
