Our focus is on growing native plants, educational outreach, garden guides, books, plant-lists & more to help save the turtles.

Meet Our Educational Ambassador:
Hubert E. Box
With a goal to make lasting connections
Coming soon this summer!
We are adopting a eastern box turtle though the Mid-Atlantic Turtle and Tortoise Society.
Hubert E. Box will help promote native plantings, educational outreach and cultivate a hands on connection to nature.
Next step is to build an outdoor enclosure that Hubert E. Box will call home.
