Winter 2026 Update

The plan all along for 2026 has been to get away from people driving to my home to buy plants and towards getting retail displays into retail locations. Preferably at least on in each borough and one in Nassau county and so forth. What you see pictured is the prototype and in fact the final design for 2026. I can tell it's going to be hard to get retailers on board. So if you know of any store where you think they might want to carry this display, please send them to https://nativesphere.com. Please and thank you! The backup plan if no retailers sign up is to use this display at multiple farmer's markets. If you want to work any farmer's market to do this and make money, please contact me at sales@nativesphere.com. You will need to be your own entrepreneur and find and sign up at the farmer's market, but use me as a resource if you need help. Check out the nativesphere website for video and more information.

As if that weren't enough, I worked all Summer on NativePlants.Info which is a native plants database with free, user friendly (in my opinion) interface. There are multiple uses for this site like:

1) Paste in a plant name and get details and pictures.

2) Get lists of plants filtered and sorted in many different ways like 'host plants' 'keystone ranking' 'growth habit', 'taxonomy' and more and then export the details to Excel. - this is good for planning a garden.

3) Find seed sellers for any particular native plant. The good thing about this is there are many seed vendors who sell both native and non native plants. Through nativeplants.info you will only see the native seeds. Unless, get this, you select to also see non-native plants (naturalized and invasive) and happen to see there is a vendor for those seeds. See, there is a lot to this site.

Looking forward to Springtime as I know you are too!!!
