Join the Growing Native Plants Economy!

Bird-Friendly Native Plants of the Year is a new program that is completing the sales cycle for native plants. Audubon North Carolina is working to bring back native plants that benefit birds, our environment and our local economy. We’re actively creating a local base of buyers for native plants, and now we need YOU – our local growers and retailers. This program targets landscape architects, city planners, home gardeners, bird watchers and others. We’re laying down our roots with local businesses to grow more native plants.

By signing up to participate in this program, we’ll actively promote your business as a Bird-Friendly Native Plants of the Year participant and you’ll get the following benefits:
