Bona Terra Plantings
The Bona Terra Group Plant Grant Program mission's is to annually place one million seedlings into the hands of community members and in turn, those seedlings are put into the ground to support our ecosystems.
The Plant Grant program is open to a diverse range of applicants who share the common goal of enhancing their communities with native plants. Eligible groups include not-for-profit organizations, garden clubs, schools, scout troops, gatherings of friends and family, or any collective with a sincere desire to introduce native flora into the local landscape. https://bonaterradc.com/
