Conservation Plant Network is a new approach to tree and shrub procurement <\/strong>for organizations with large-scale plant needs, like municipalities, universities, and public gardens.<\/p>\n

Conservation Plant Network reimagines the tree supply chain, shifting it from a speculative growth model to a municipality-driven procurement <\/b>system.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
