In this episode we have a special guest, Arthur Haines who has authored a number of books, the most well known is probably the Botanical Identification Manual for New England "Flora Novae-Angliae".  Arthur shares with us in this episode seven considerations to make when observing native plant populations in New England and how these considerations can help you come to a reasonable conclusion about its nativity. 

In Episode 31 of the Plants are People too podcast we visit the oldest native plant organization in the United States (Native Plant Trust) native plant nursery in Whately, Massachustts, Nasami Farm. At the farm we meet, talk and take a tour with Alexis Doshas the Nursery Manager. In this episode we talk casually about native plant propagation, germination, short and long term seed storage, visit the climate controlled seed vault and talk about some bigger picture ideas of plants and effects of ecotypes and plants in our region. Enjoy!

In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Theresa Crimmins, Director of the National Phenology Network based in Tucson, Arizona.
