The Community Center in Jericho and Bernie Paquette bring you the 2023 Annual Community Plant Sale.
Five plant collections for different sun/soil conditions, utilizing mostly Vermont native plants, each offered in two tray sizes, 9 plants or 21 plants. All grown in Fairfax, Vermont at River Berry Farm. Why favor native plants? Most insects that eat plants can develop and reproduce only on the plants with which they share an evolutionary history. (Forister et al. 2014) Collectively, insects transfer more energy from plants to animals than any other group. We depend on the life support of functioning ecosystems.

Bernie Paquette is an advocate of habitat biodiversity, planting a mixture of perennials, shrubs, and trees that support pollinators and the overall web of life of our community. Biodiversity enhances ecosystem function. Planting native plants help ensure the plants will do well on their own requiring less care such as watering and fertilizing. Native plants are more likely to support our local pollinators than would non-native plants. Habitat restoration is an action we all can take on to help the soil, plants, insects, and other life restores themselves.
