Plant Native
Our Plant Native Project is one of the oldest projects here at CCNC. We sell native plants at seasonal sales each year. Over the years, we have planted many native plants throughout our property, and we have a screenhouse that supports our Native Plant Nursery.
Last year, we kicked off our Native Plant Nursery’s growing program with a Propagation Workshop in partnership with Mississippi Native Plant Society. Our goal is to educate the community about the benefits of using native plants and to provide plants grown right here at the center. ​
To support our nursery’s sustainability, we are utilizing grant funding to install a water catchment system, ensuring an eco-friendly approach to watering and plant care. Additionally, we are intentionally landscaping and planting native species in our Price Hall beds to serve as a model for the community, demonstrating how native plants can create beautiful, low-maintenance, and environmentally beneficial spaces.
We’re also looking for dedicated volunteers to help support and expand this effort.
