Native Plant Trust

Native Plant Trust, based in Framingham, Massachusetts, is a leading conservation organization dedicated to preserving New England's native plants and restoring healthy, biologically diverse landscapes. With over 125 years of history, the organization works to conserve imperiled plant species, restore native habitats, control invasive plants, and advance climate adaptation strategies. Through its Garden in the Woods sanctuary, native plant nurseries, seed banking program (which has preserved 10 million seeds of rare and endangered species), and comprehensive educational initiatives, Native Plant Trust engages the community in native plant conservation. Visitors can purchase native plants, attend classes and field studies, explore the garden, and learn how to create ecologically beneficial landscapes. The organization invites community members to become involved through membership, volunteering, donations, and participation in restoration projects and educational programs.
