We love nature at TN Nursery in more ways than just selling plants. We think it's important to give back to the earth and the places that help us. We help with neighborhood gardening, research and reforestation projects all over the United States through our plant donations and outreach programs.
Our project is different because we don't just give away plants; we also give away peanuts to help wildlife grow. TN Nursery is committed to sustainability natural balance and caring for the community as shown by this dual commitment.
TN Nursery’s Commitment to Giving Back
TN Nursery has been based on the idea that every plant has the power to make a difference for many years. Supporting educational institutions, scientific study facilities and environmental groups is a key component of our plant donations program.
We give away thousands of plants to different projects every year, which helps promote green areas and teach people about the environment. Donating plants helps people get back in touch with nature and makes the world a better place.
Some of the main goals of our effort to give back are:
- Helping to restore natural habitats through a tree donation program
- Offering plants for research donations to help improve studies in agriculture and ecology
- Supporting neighborhood gardening projects that teach and care for the environment
To give you an example, TN Nursery often uses Dogwood Trees and Oak Trees in these projects because they are very important for wildlife and for cleaning the air.
How TN Nursery Supports Reforestation Wildlife
One of the best ways to fight climate change and keep landscapes safe is to plant new trees. TN Nursery is happy to work with educational and environmental organizations to provide sustainable plant donations that aid in the reforestation of areas that have been cleared.
Why planting trees is important
- Better air quality: Trees take in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
- Keeps the soil from washing away: deep roots keep the ground stable and stop water from running off.
- Helps wildlife: Many species depend on forests for food and protection.
TN Nursery directly helps protect wildlife by giving away trees like Oak and Dogwood. For example, oak trees give birds and mammals nuts to eat and dogwood trees give pollinators nectar and a place to rest.
- We also give Native Ferns (see our collection) to groups that work to restore ecosystems in woodlands and wetlands. These plants are necessary to cover the ground and keep the dirt healthy.
- We often give plants to universities and nonprofits that are studying biodiversity and how to adapt to climate change when we make plants for research donations.
- Native species are used in these projects to learn how plants respond to changes in their surroundings.
Donating Beyond Plants - The “Peanuts Too” Initiative
TN Nursery is known for giving away plants, but that's not all we do to be kind. As part of our "Peanuts Too" program, we feed peanuts to squirrels, birds and small mammals to help area wildlife.
Our team started this one-of-a-kind project when we saw that many replanting areas didn't have enough food for animals. By giving peanuts along with plants we make sure that animals have a place to stay and food to eat.
Why peanuts are good for animals
- Food Source High in Energy - Birds and small mammals need fats and proteins that peanuts provide
- Supports biodiversity - Feeding animals helps keep environments in balance
- Focus on sustainability - Using raw natural peanuts is in line with environmentally friendly practices
Building a Sustainable Future through Giving
TN Nursery makes sure that our efforts get to the places where they can make the most difference by working with both small and large groups. With every gift we promise to take care of the Earth and the next generation.
