2020 Native Pond Plant Sale
The 2020 sale was another huge success. 88 orders for nearly 1900 plants yielded a 68% increase from 2019. Planning has already begun for 2021.
The St. James Ponds Committee has teamed with Lumber River Native Plants in Gibson, NC, to sell and deliver 13 species of plants chosen for pondscaping in in St. James.
Family owned and operated, Lumber River specializes in growing wetland plants from seeds collected from natural habitats in the Carolinas. Many are upland species that require less water, making them more draught resistant, especially in sandy soils.
The pricing is excellent: $3 for 3" pots, with shrubs at $7 for 1-gallon pots. Because these plants are an agricultural product grown from seeds and sold directly from grower to homeowner, there is no retail sales tax. (To be clear, there is also no "retail service.")
Last year, 2019, over 1100 plants were sold. Feedback comments are provided for those species again offered this year.
