Update at July 8, 2025

.This was the best season yet! The deli-wrap/paper (pictured directly above) / paper bag combo worked out well to eliminate plastic to consumer.

This year's almost free native plants program recipients were: Queens New York Public Library Main Branch, PS 41 - The Greenwich Village School, the Home School Association and the New York Summer Youth Employment Program at Youth Opportunity Hub 82-17 Parsons Blvd 11432 top picture.

It was great to meet so many people at my back yard and at the Maria Hernandez farmer's market. I guess I sold or gave to schools and organizations about 1,500 plants with about 250 or so remaining after I released some plants from customers who didn't pick up. These remaining ones had to be put into the 5" pots shown because they outgrew their plugs. This is almost the end of the 5" pots I bought a couple years ago. I won't buy them again, but I'll figure out a different way to handle the inventory once it gets too big for the plug trays.

In 2026 I'm hoping to get displays into retail stores and also create a weekly delivery route system to make delivery cheaper. What do you think? Any ideas for stores?
