Our Plant sales feature species native to EcoRegion 59 (New England Coastal Zone), and when possible, with true EcoRegion 59 provenance.
Plants are grown by RIWPS seed starter groups or sourced from trusted wholesalers. Seeds come from our ReSeeding Rhode Island foundation plots or other EcoRegion 59 suppliers. We follow strict protocols to prevent the spread of pests and disease.
Our seeds carry the history of our local habitats in their genes.
By planting them, you help preserve genetic diversity and support healthy, resilient ecosystems.
