Thanks ReWilders and Volunteers

Thanks to all ReWilders, and especially volunteers, who made our Spring 2020 ReWild Native Plant Sale a great success. We distributed over 2500 plants to 80 ReWilding homes including beautiful phlox, wild bergamont, foxglove, milkweed, elderberries and fragrant chokeberries. This was our most successful event so far, and we estimate that 45 families are new to adding native plants to your yards.

Our thanks also to Rusty Schmidt and Cassandra Castano of Nelson Pope and Vorhees, who did all the hard work behind the scenes, co-ordinating between nurseries and their ever-changing inventory!

See below for some of the photos of the events ….
