Celebrate Native Plants

Garden in the Woods, Nasami Farm, and the Garden Shops are closed for the winter and scheduled to re-open in April 2021. Please check back for details.

At this time, all Native Plant Trust sanctuaries are open only to local residents to avoid overcrowding. If you live near a sanctuary and arrive to find lots of cars or a busy entrance, please seek a different place for your walk or come back later. While walking, please observe physical-distancing guidelines. Thank you for your cooperation.

We invited you to donate to the Seed Ark Endowment Fund during our #GivingTuesday challenge match—and you responded with gusto! Thanks to you and the generous donor who matched your gifts, we will have more resources to save the seeds of rare plants for the future. Bravo!
