2021 Gardening Green Expo - Top 10 Native Edible Plants by Blue Stem Natives

This video is part of our 2021 Virtual Gardening Green Expo. The Expo is sponsored by WaterSmart South Shore. The North and South Rivers Watershed Association, Kennedy’s Country Gardens, Wild Ones South Shore MA chapter, and Edible South Shore & South Coast.

The WaterSmart program is a nonprofit partnership between the NSRWA and 12 towns on the South Shore: Cohasset, Duxbury, Hanover, Hingham, Hull, Kingston, Marshfield, Norwell, Pembroke, Rockland, Scituate and Weymouth. Our programs are based on the belief that education is key. Since its creation, WaterSmart has educated thousands of local school-age children, adults, and businesses on water conservation, stormwater pollution, where their water comes from, and how to care for it.

Blue Stem Natives is a women-owned, enthusiastic native plant nursery located in southeastern Massachusetts. They specialize in growing native plants from seed whenever possible, so as to encourage genetic diversity, and only straight-species, no ‘cultivars’. They are committed to using environmentally mindful growing practices that encompass everything from eliminating peat, reusing and repurposing plastic pots, and utilizing organic methods. They never use neonicotinoids or anything harmful to pollinators. Visit Blue Stem Natives at https://www.bluestemnatives.com/
