They provide diverse and affordable plugs and potted plants for restoration and home gardens. \nThe nursery’s new Patch-by-Patch restoration program seeks to help land trusts\, conservation groups and private landowners increase biodiversity one planting at a time\, believing that restoration isn’t always about remaking the landscape but augmenting it. \nSign up to join WLT and Plant Community in augmenting the meadow at Cottrell Family Preserve by planting a variety of native plugs. Fall is one of the best times to plant and we can’t wait to come back next year to track our progress and support native biodiversity. \nQuestions? You can email Marc\, WLT’s Land Stewardship Manager at mdoherty@westerlylandtrust.org. \nImportant Info \n\nWear comfortable clothing and footwear for working outdoors\nBring a reusable water bottle\, garden or work gloves\, and a hand trowel if you have them\nPark at Flora Whitely Preserve at 193 Potter Hill Road. We will walk to Cottrell Family Preserve from there.\nThis event has no cost to participate.
