The Native Plant Trust has been collecting seeds of plant species on our Chester Granite Saw property during the 2026 season. Native Plant Trust, is a regional, non-profit, plant conservation organization undertaking a project to collect seeds from common, native New England plant species throughout our region. The plants grown from these New England provenance seeds are available for use in property restoration projects at the local, state and federal levels; for display and education at their botanic garden, Garden in the Woods; and for retail sales that support and fund plant conservation efforts. The seeds collected are processed by Native Plant Trust at Nasami Farm in Whately, MA. With that said, the back end of our three acre lot will be a nature trail with plant identifiers, it also includes a natural spring and many rare healthy Elm Trees!
