Organized to provide practical vegetative site solutions anchored in grasses, sedges, rushes, and legumes. Our belief is that agronomically sound solutions are the right choice when considering land use options. This agronomic, site-based approach is highly sensitive to wetland preservation, native plant utilization, erosion control, and agricultural  preservation.
 
  • Plants and Seed for important native New England ecotypes of grasses, sedges, and forbs such as “Pilgrim”coastal hair grass a staple of the Cape Cod savanna.
  • Chosen species are diligently researched based on recognition of private and public agencies as important native plants for southern New England
  • Seed collection and multiplication as well as propagation of plug/plant options for region specific ecotypes of native grasses, sedges, and forms.
