Why is Sustainable Saratoga partnering with Home Earth Alliance?

Because where your native plants come from matters. Their plants are grown from seed collected from wild plants in a six-county area around the Capital District, so the plants you buy will be perfectly adapted hosts for our local bumblebees, butterflies and other insect pollinators.

You’ll find plants suited to a variety of conditions, from sun to shade and dry to moist soil. Downloadable plant list coming soon.

Why plant in fall?

Nighttime temperatures are cooling down, but the soil is still warm enough for the plants to grow right up until the first hard frost. Plants experience less transplant shock at cooler temperatures and the autumnal chill and shorter day lengths signal the plants to put their growth into roots, not leaves. There are fewer weeds and insect herbivores in the fall, so the plants are less stressed by competition and predation. Fall planting helps native perennials get off to a strong start in the spring, when they can provide an early food source for insect pollinators waking up hungry in April and May.
