Blue Water Baltimore operates the Herring Run Nursery, a specialized horticultural facility dedicated to the propagation and sale of native plants. As an extension of their broader environmental mission to restore the health of Baltimore’s watersheds, the nursery focuses on cultivating species that are ecologically adapted to the local region. By promoting native landscaping, they provide homeowners, landscapers, and community organizations with the necessary vegetation to increase urban tree canopy, reduce stormwater runoff, and support local biodiversity. The nursery serves as both a commercial point of sale and a hub for community engagement, offering plants that improve ecosystem resilience in urban settings. Their operations emphasize sustainable growing practices, providing a source of high-quality native flora that helps residents and businesses transition away from invasive or non-native landscaping species toward more sustainable, environmentally sound gardening solutions.
