We are a small farm near Downtown Lewes. We sell traditional fruits and vegetables in our shop. Last year, we ventured into selling native plants and trees, and with so much development in Lewes, people are very interested. Each year, we hold workshops on various topics and plan one this year on Native Plants as alternatives to traditional gardens.
I am looking for someone with more experience to present this topic and would like to see if someone at DNREC is interested or knows of another who may be. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
