As we look to rebuild, many people arelooking to do so in ways that can benefit our natural surroundings.By incorporating native plants in our individual landscapes around ourhomes, and in larger projects such as riparian and slope restoration,individuals can contribute to a slow but steady rebuilding andrestoration of our natural environment. The Blue Ridge Chapter of theNC Native Plant Society is honored to be able to contribute to thiseffort through our plant sales and we hope that High Country residentswill be excited to take home some native plants and get planting.”Sue McBean, Steering Committee, Blue Ridge Chapter.
