Native Plant and Seed Share

Fall is the perfect time to thin out some of your robust Maryland native plants and to get some new native plants in the ground!

Let’s get together, talk about native gardening, and share our spreading plants looking for new homes.

Join us even if you are new to native gardening and do not have anything to share yet. We are happy to help new gardeners get started.

Event address at a private residence in Owings Mills will be provided to registrants closer to the event date.

Guidelines:

1. Only bring healthy plants and seeds native to Maryland.

2. Bring bags or containers to bring your plants home.

3. Include any information you have available to share:

• Latin name (preferred) and common name
• Straight species or cultivar
• Plant description (height, bloom time, etc.)
• Preferred growing conditions
• Where the plant originated (local ecotype, native nursery, box store, etc.)
• Any other information of interest

4. Consider following best practices for new plants to reduce the spread of jumping worms and other unwanted pests.

• Suggestions for sharing new plants (not required): provide bare root plants, wrapped in wet newspaper or paper towels and in plastic bags OR rinse roots and repot plants infreshly opened potting soil.
