St. George Village Botanical Garden (SGVBG) Executive Director Sarah Brady announced several grant-supported projects during a recent volunteer appreciation event.

According to Brady, they are as follows:

“The Coastal Plant and Seed Project through DPNR – we are working on a grant to propagate 1300 seedlings to provide back to DPNR through East End Marine Park to help mitigate coastal erosion. We are propagating specific species that are drought-resistant, such as orange manjack, sea lavender, sea grapes, buttonwood, and pink poui.  These plants will ideally be given to residents who live along the coast.“
