The Native Plant Project

The Spring Island Trust Native Plant Project is dedicated to the propagation and distribution of native plants, and to providing education about how to use them in the landscape.

Videos

Plant Sales

Currently more than 100 species of native plant are grown and available for sale in their season through the Spring Island Trust Native Plant Project.

Educational Tours

The Spring Island Trust Native Plant Project offers interested groups (such as garden clubs, naturalist groups, environmental educators, etc.) the opportunity to visit Spring Island to learn about landscaping with native plants as part of our outreach program. 

Grants

The Spring Island Trust makes grants of native plants available to schools and nature education centers. The purpose of this grant program is to increase habitat available for native wildlife such as birds and insects, restore habitat to native vegetation, and create outdoor learning spaces for K-12/higher ed students and adults.
