Greenhorn Radio - Episode 56 - Marguerite of Mother Plants Nursery

First Aired - 09/02/2010 02:00PM

This week on Greenhorn Radio Sev speaks to Marguerite of Mother Plants Nursery in upstate NY. Mother Plants specializes in baby plants that are green-roof ready, so you can jump start the "green" part of your green roof. They have a seemingly infinite amount of low maintenance, draft tolerant, "plug-size" plants and can deliver anywhere UPS is willing to trek. Their goal is to be a catalyst for the public's growing interest in green roofs, and facilitate not only the start of new roofs, but to ensure current roofs are the botanical wonderlands their owners had envisioned. This episode was sponsored by Hearst Ranch: purveyors of all natural grass-fed cattle from the coast of California.
