SOWING, GROWING AND RESTORING

The restoration of wetlands, shoreline erosion control and improving water quality in the Chesapeake Bay watershed is dependent on native plants. As part of Environmental Concern's mission, we strive to make native plants available for all of your projects - from small rain gardens to large shoreline installations.

EC's nursery has been continuously growing Spartina alterniflora (cordgrass) and Spartina patens (salt meadow hay) for shoreline restoration projects for 50 years. Our native plants are grown from seed that we collect on our living shoreline project sites and on EC's campus. Native wetland grass species also include Panicum amarum (coastal panic grass), Panicum virgatum (switchgrass), Distichilis spicata (spike grass/salt grass), Juncus effusus (soft rush), Juncus roemerianus (black needlerush) and more.
