Below is a Zoom chat with horticulturist Peter Strom, owner of <a href="http://www.stromhort.com/" style="color: #954f72;">Strom Horticulture LLC</a> and known for his work at the O'Hara Nature Center in Irvington. He spoke about the plants on native plant plugs bulk buy that is being organized (see list below - <a href="http://rootsandwingswestchester.blogspot.com/" style="color: #954f72;">more info in blog</a>), what experience he has had growing them and answered specific questions.<br />

I'll purchase a flat of 50 or more plugs once there's a critical mass of committed gardeners for each variety. In a few cases, potted plant purchases may become a smarter choice for specific varieties, TBD. Shipments will most likely occur between early-May and mid-July to coincide with plant maturity and availability from the wholesaler. For preliminary cost references, Asclepias Tuberosa (Butterfly Milkweed) is around ~$1.40/plug where as Mertensia Virginica (Virginia bluebells) is around $4.40/plug, not including shipping.<o:p></o:p></div>

With respect to logistics and social distancing: if we do place an order, I strongly prefer repayment through PAYPAL or VEMNO with cash/check only as a last resort. Plug pickups will be left on our walkway within a prearranged 30-minute window with 30-minute buffers between each pickup, no exceptions. Thank you for your understanding.<o:p></o:p></div>

What's next? Email me your variety and quantity commitments as well as any questions you have. Hurry though, I would like to place our first order May 5th! I will follow up with additional communications with order, shipment, and repayment details as folks sign-up.<o:p></o:p></div>
