When Menunkatuck Audubon Society launched UrbanScapes Native Plant Nursery on an urban lot in New Haven, they sold 300-400 native plants a season. This year, that number hit 4,500. Connecticut-based nonprofits buy plants by the thousands to enhance rain gardens, meadows, and other areas they care for to help birds and other wildlife thrive. Not to mention, it’s managed by local youth who are potting, watering, and selling thousands of plants per season. Learn more from Audubon Connecticut at the link in comments.
