SUMMARY:Fall Native Plant Sale
DESCRIPTION:Looking to incorporate more native plants into your yard? Stop by our Farm Stand on Saturday\, September 26 from 10am to 4pm to purchase our farm-grown native plants. \nAbout the Native Plant Program… \nThe Native Plant Program at Hilltop Hanover Farm is a farm-based initiative focused on strengthening and expanding local biodiversity by increasing the number of ecotype plants available in the community. Our native plant nursery specializes in seed-propagated\, local ecotype species\, native to our region. \nWhy Plant Native Plants? \nHighly\, biodiverse ecosystems are more resilient and adaptable; they improve the soil\, prevent erosion\, protect against flooding\, lower temperatures at the ground\, and clean the air. Preserving and expanding areas where native plants are grown is a powerful way to combat environmental threats\, while also supporting animal and insect populations that are essential to a healthy ecosystem.
