Nuts for Natives
In January, I was elated to receive an email from Shari Wilson, a former Secretary of the Maryland Dept. of the Environment and a former President of the NeighborSpace Board. The email announced the creation of a new website, Nuts for Natives, providing tools to help people buy, plant, and nurture native plants to make a difference in the Chesapeake landscape. There is an associated blog with weekly posts for which you can sign up. You can also follow Nuts for Natives on Instagram.
