The Earth Sangha is at the forefront of native plant conservation, propagation, and small-scale restoration work. Founded in 1997, the Earth Sangha is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to the conservation of local-ecotype native plants and their habitats.
Join us this Sunday 9/21, from 9 - 2, for our Fall Open House and Native Plant Sale! As experienced gardeners know, the Fall is the best time to plant! The air is cool, but the ground is still warm. We also tend to get greater rainfall, making it much easier for your plants to get established.
I'll type this back for y'all soon!
A thread about why we focus exclusively on local ecotype native plant cultivation here at Earth Sangha:
Hey everyone!
Because of the extreme heat and the Heat Advisory we'll be closed at our Wild Plant Nursery tomorrow Sunday July 27.
See y'all Monday!
Deer and turkey at Marie Butler Leven Preserve! 🤩
This is really relevant to our work seed collecting! We never want to overcollect, but we do need to sometimes get a lot of seed to support local restoratio .
We will be incorporating this research into our practices in collaboration with local ecologists.

The Earth Sangha has been chosen (again!) As a "critical & trusted non-profit" by Spur Local (formerly the Catalogue of Philanthropy).
We underwent a rigorous financial and programmatic review by professionals, volunteers, and peer non-profit reviewers.
This is our 5th, 4-year term being included!
This was at Marie Butler Leven Preserve this morning. Big shoutout to our volunteers helping us remove this invasive annual vine and allow our donated trees and shrubs to reach maturity! This one here in its deer cage is an arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum).
This is really good and well worth a read #bioinvasions

Mating swallowtail butterflies
Mom M did fieldwork without me today! But she got some cool pictures so I guess it’s okay. There’s a bumble bee on a Carolina Rose, a Box Turtle gorging on native blackberries, a vine related to milkweeds, and mating zebra swallowtail butterflies! #barkranger
