Award-winning landscape designer Bridghe McCracken is the new owner of Project Native’s 52-acre farm in Great Barrington and will continue to run it as a native-plant nursery, seed bank, and wildlife habitat sanctuary.  In addition to the native plants available from the nursery, she will operate a sustainable living garden store that includes handmade tools, organic garden supplies, artisan outdoor pots and furniture, as well as local goods such as teas, medicinal plants, honey and candles. Project Native Founder Raina Weber returned to the Berkshires for two months to help McCracken sustain the nursery and expand upon the native habitat restoration work that has been underway since Project Native first acquired the former dairy farm twelve years ago.  The farm will be now known as Helia Native Nursery.  For more information visit http://helianativenursery.com/about/.
