Community Supported Native Plants
This spring, kits are offered by habitat type (soil, sun, and moisture specific). Select a kit based on where you will plant the plugs. We’ve selected plants for each of the habitat types. Each pack will have 25 plugs with 5 plugs of 5 species.
We offer a diverse range of native plants and included sample plant lists for each type of kit. Please note these are subject to change. Polly Hill can’t guarantee germination of every species they are growing, but will will do their best to provide you with the species included in the kit descriptions.
Order deadline: May 15, 2023
Kits will be available for pickup on May 24-26 at BiodiversityWorks Headquarters
18 Helen Ave. Vineyard Haven 02568
We are delighted to be working with the Polly Hill Arboretum again to offer their local type and local grown native plant plugs.
