2026 Wetland/Rain Garden Community Supported Natives (CSN)

This Grow Wild CSN is similar to the well-known agricultural CSA. By joining the Grow Wild! CSN you are supporting a sprouting community nursery that specializes in native plant species. CSN members by singing up early help us start our season strong.

This collection includes native plant species that thrive in moist to wet conditions, and are great for keeping water on your property rather than sending it away down sewers or ditches. 

Wetland plants when used in depressions such as rain gardens, swales or ditches, can slow the movement of water during a rain event.  These plants act as natural filters keeping pollutants from entering our waterways while reducing erosion as they slow down water moving across impermeable surfaces such as roofs and paved parking areas. 

They do a great service protecting our waterways all while creating beauty and habitat on your land.

Whatever your wet conditions may be, this collection of 40 plants covering 75-100 sf will give you an instant and beautiful rain garden, ditch or wetland area.

The following plants are included in your membership in quantities of 3 each. If there are any of these plants that you would like to switch with another shown on the list, please ask for a change. We don't mind changing if the plants are available.
