In addition to beautiful native plants, Blue Water Baltimore’s Herring Run Nursery provides tens of thousands of dollars of unrestricted funding to the organization each year. If you are able, we hope you’ll consider making a donation to allow us to keep nurturing our plants for sales in the future, in addition to supporting the rest of our vital work.
