Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
- $27,455 spent. We make native plants available for our members and the general public. This is accomplished by growing plants at our facilities, and purchasing native plants from wholesale growers. We also work with new (and potentially future commercial) growers, providing them with instructions and materials, and buying their plants. About 12,000 plants were sold to 600 people (both estimates) at 5 major sales and once weekly sales when volunteers are working at our facilities.
- $1,398 spent. We educate our members and general public about the use and benefits of native plants. This is accomplished by conducting workshops (3 in 2024, 49 participants), giving and hosting talks (about 6 in 2024; approximately 150 attendees), publishing a free monthly newsletter (approximately 2000 subscribers at end of 2024), and conducting outreach at various events (8 in 2024, approximately 600 people reached). We also facilitate the sale of books on regional native plants and collaborate with a local author on a regional book on native plant cultivation.
- $547 spent. We collaborate with other organizations and with schools, hosting organizations and students at our facilities and providing them with plants for demonstration gardens (some of it in the form of grants). In 2024 we hosted 3 organizations/school groups (approximately 50 attendees) and provided 2 grants that provided plants.
