Join us this Sunday 9/21, from 9 - 2, for our Fall Open House and Native Plant Sale! As experienced gardeners know, the Fall is the best time to plant! The air is cool, but the ground is still warm. We also tend to get greater rainfall, making it much easier for your plants to get established.

This is really relevant to our work seed collecting! We never want to overcollect, but we do need to sometimes get a lot of seed to support local restoratio .
We will be incorporating this research into our practices in collaboration with local ecologists.

The Earth Sangha has been chosen (again!) As a "critical & trusted non-profit" by Spur Local (formerly the Catalogue of Philanthropy).

This is our 5th, 4-year term being included!

This was at Marie Butler Leven Preserve this morning. Big shoutout to our volunteers helping us remove this invasive annual vine and allow our donated trees and shrubs to reach maturity! This one here in its deer cage is an arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum).
Before and after removing Mile-a-minute today! This is just one small section we worked on today, freeing up tree cages and native plants to live their best lives!
