Planting Natives at Wolbach

The grounds at our Wolbach Farm headquarters are being transformed!

We have many beautiful gardens and trees at Wolbach, but they were created at a time when landscapers and gardeners favored ornamental plants, before the importance of native species became widely understood. 

This spring, SVT hired Minglewood of Concord to design a landscape that incorporates new native plants, and SVT supporters and master gardeners Diana Cebra and Michele Trucksis helped with final plant selection and installation.

We also owe a big thank you to Russ Cohen, who donated over 40 trees and shrubs from his personal nursery in which he grows wild native edible plants. 

We finished installing the new plants, and by summertime, Wolbach should be an inspiration to anyone planning a native landscape. Be sure to visit!
