Northern Neck Native Plant Co announced on Facebook some big news that should positively impact NNK-area nonprofits, farmers markets on the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula and those who frequent those events, and non-market event pop-ups. The deets are in the FB post immediately below and the text is below that. This news is especially timely given the increasing need for resiliency planning and activity.
Northern Neck Native Plant Co’s Post
We have some BIG changes coming down the pike for next Spring.
- We will transition to an “all profits to Charity,” model. Our plant sales will offer a percentage of sales to NNK-area nonprofits with the remaining funds-after-costs going to our nonprofit arm Sustainable Landscapes VA-MD.
- NNK Native Plant Co will focus on local farmers markets, native plant sales, and serving the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula. We will no longer offer plant delivery, but we will continue to offer installations!
- This winter we are stocking conservation plant staples like switchgrass, purple love grass, little blue stem, and shoreline grasses. We will announce special plant pricing for conservation work next year.
- Our plant delivery business and non-NNK farmers markets/pop-ups will be handled by a new business of ours: Roaming Roots: Mobile Native Plant Shop. Their focus will be on plant delivery in Nova/Fburg/NNK. There will likely be purchase minimums.
If you are a conservation nonprofit, municipality, gardening club, or Soil & Water Conservation District, we’d love to hear from you about how we can support your efforts!
