HOW TO: get free native plants in New Jersey ASAP


hey there,

if you're in Lambertville, West/East Amwell, Stockton, Delaware Township, Hopewell, or Pennington, NJ then listen up!

You can receive $700 worth of native plants FOR FREE!

(okay, technically, you do have to pay for them but then you'll get reimbursed for your plant purchases!)

So if you've been wanting to start or expand your native garden, NOW is the time! And I can help!

Things to know:

1) You must live in Lambertville, West Amwell, East Amwell, Stockton, Delaware Township, Hopewell, or Pennington to be eligible.

2) You must convert lawn to native garden. (Funds are not available for updates to existing garden beds.)

3) Grant funds are limited - the program is first come, first served.

4) The application deadline is October 1st, 2026.

Do you want help navigating this grant program?

I've already successfully helped a client in Lambertville receive their rebate check. I'm fully vetted, friends!

I can help you:

  • organize/track your application deliverables (think receipts, photos, measurements)
  • procure native plants
  • design your native garden
  • create a personalized step-by-step prep & installation plan
  • prep your garden site

The best way for us to team up is to start with a consultation, which you can book here.

Lambertville and surrounding towns are promoting this program to ensure the longevity of their communities. They're investing in big picture, long-term goals to filter air & water, manage stormwater runoff and flooding, increase biodiversity, and uplift human & wildlife resilience.

You can be part of this positive change by revitalizing your home garden.

hey there, I noticed fluffy white stuff at the back of my yard the other day. I walked closer and realized they were feathers. Take a look: Just as I approached, a red-tailed hawk screeched and flew off from the red maple above me, where she had presumably just been dining and discarding feathers from her catch. Sometimes the circle of life is glorious and beautiful, like spring flowers and baby birds. And sometimes it is powerful and fierce, like these remains from a hawk's feast. While it's...
