Living my Dream

I have always been a keen gardener. This led to becoming a bee-keeper and learning about pollinators & pollination, followed by an increased understanding of the importance of native plants to biodiversity and healthy ecosystems.

My goal in creating this website is to encourage others to appreciate and grow native plants, while also offering products which I love to make using natural resources from my garden and apiary, including herbs, honey & beeswax. 20% of all native plant sales will be donated to grownativemass.org, in the spirit of their motto “Every garden matters - Every landscape counts”.

Finally, please note that my order pick-up location is at spencerbrookfarm.com, which strives to teach skills and practices that are healthy for people and the environment, while also establishing large colonies of native plants and beneficial insects. I am so grateful for the opportunity to share and promote their beautiful farm stand, which also sets a laudable example on how it’s possible to use plastic alternatives in gardening practices.

Best, Sarah.
