¿Por qué necesitamos plantas autóctonas?
Las plantas autóctonas se han adaptado a lo largo de miles de años a las condiciones ambientales únicas de cada región.
Las plantas autóctonas son sostenibles y están adaptadas para prosperar en los suelos y las condiciones climáticas de su región.
Muchas especies autóctonas tienen raíces profundas, lo que ralentiza el flujo de las aguas pluviales, mejora la calidad del agua y reduce la erosión.
Una vez establecidas, las plantas autóctonas no necesitan fertilizantes ni riego adicional.
Las plantas autóctonas proporcionan alimento de calidad y refugio para la fauna silvestre (hábitat).
Las plantas autóctonas son preciosas.
Las plantas autóctonas (especialmente las plantas clave ) son necesarias para muchos de nuestros polinizadores nativos y otros animales silvestres que no sobrevivirían sin ellas.
Incluir plantas autóctonas en tu jardín creará un santuario acogedor, además de muchos otros beneficios.

Plantación para polinizadores
La Sociedad Xerces ha colaborado con el Centro de Flores Silvestres Lady Bird Johnson para crear listas de plantas que atraen a las abejas nativas, abejorros, abejas melíferas y otros insectos beneficiosos, así como listas de plantas que sirven como materiales de anidación para las abejas nativas. Estas listas se pueden refinar con criterios adicionales como el estado, la humedad del suelo, la época de floración y los requisitos de luz solar.

Encontrar la planta "correcta"
Plante árboles más altos lejos de las líneas eléctricas.
Todas las plantas necesitan lo mismo, pero no todas tienen las mismas necesidades. Algunas necesitan más sol, otras más sombra. Algunas necesitan mucha agua, otras muy poca, y hay de todo tipo…
Colocar la planta adecuada en el lugar adecuado no solo aumenta la probabilidad de que la planta crezca sana y fuerte, sino que también reduce la probabilidad de que surjan problemas importantes más adelante.
Evalúa con qué recursos cuentas. Los aspectos físicos presentes determinarán cómo puedes o debes proceder.
Consejos de jardinería
Utiliza la forma del terreno y la disponibilidad de luz y agua para dar forma a tu diseño.
Al diseñar un paisaje, tenga en cuenta las zonas de plantación.
Agrupa las plantas que tengan las mismas necesidades de humedad y luz.
Asegúrate de que las plantas que requieren mucha agua estén cerca de una fuente de agua . (A veces, esto significa una manguera o un sistema de recolección de agua de lluvia).
Asegúrate de que las plantas que requieren más atención sean fácilmente accesibles .
Ten en cuenta el tamaño que alcanzará la planta al madurar . Asegúrate de que tenga espacio para crecer y de que las plantas que requieren más sol no se planten junto a otras que puedan darles sombra.

Cómo funciona:
Cada año, el Distrito de Conservación compra un gran lote de plantas aptas para la conservación en el Centro de Materiales Vegetales (PMC) para venderlas en nuestra venta anual. La clasificación de calidad se basa en su capacidad de supervivencia, no en su apariencia. Se presentan como plantas a raíz desnuda, en macetas pequeñas o en esquejes. La decisión sobre qué plantas suministrar y en qué cantidad se basa tanto en las ventas del año anterior como en la disponibilidad, dependiendo del éxito de cultivo de ciertas especies ese año. A veces, estas plantas son especies cultivadas en nuestras instalaciones, y otras son de proveedores externos, lo que significa que se cultivan en otro lugar mediante contratos. Las plantas se conservan en la cámara frigorífica del PMC hasta el día de la recogida.
Finalidad de la venta de plantas:
El objetivo de la venta de plantas es promover la conservación de los recursos naturales ofreciendo plantas autóctonas de alta calidad, aptas para la conservación, a precios mayoristas. Estas plantas son hermosas, resistentes y útiles en proyectos de conservación como el control de la erosión, la restauración de riberas, la reforestación, la mejora del hábitat en jardines, la restauración de humedales y la mitigación de incendios forestales. Los fondos recaudados con la venta de plantas se destinan a financiar programas educativos para jóvenes.
Esta venta es autofinanciada. Nuestro personal y voluntarios trabajan arduamente para que la venta se desarrolle de la manera más fluida y sin contratiempos posible para nuestros clientes. Cada año presenta nuevos desafíos, y hacemos todo lo posible por adaptarnos a ellos. El Distrito de Conservación agradece las sugerencias sobre cómo podemos mejorar el proceso durante los días de venta; ¡no duden en contactarnos! ¡Gracias por su apoyo!

Almacenamiento de plantas a raíz desnuda
Antes de ser empaquetadas, las plantas se conservan en almacenamiento en frío a unos 1 °C. Una vez empaquetadas, comienzan a romper su letargo y deben plantarse en un plazo de 3 días aproximadamente.
Embalaje y manipulación
Las plantas envasadas deben mantenerse alejadas del sol, en un lugar fresco. No deben permanecer envasadas durante largos periodos de tiempo y deben plantarse o trasplantarse a macetas lo antes posible. Consejos para mejorar la plantación de árboles y arbustos.
¿Qué tamaño tienen las plantas?
Tus plantas vendrán a raíz desnuda. Esto significa que no estarán en maceta, sino en un paquete compacto dentro de una práctica bolsa para transportarlas. ¡No necesitarás un remolque ni un camión para recoger tu pedido! Los paquetes son más compactos de lo que la mayoría de la gente espera, ya que vienen a raíz desnuda.
Devoluciones y cambios
Todas las ventas son definitivas. No aceptamos devoluciones ni cambios. Si realizó un pedido y desea más plantas, por favor, haga otro. Si no podemos completar parte de su pedido debido a la falta de existencias en el vivero, le ofreceremos una planta sustituida o un reembolso.
Mortalidad de las plantas
No ofrecemos ninguna garantía sobre la supervivencia de las plantas. Generalmente, se estima una mortalidad de entre el 10 % y el 20 %, aunque esto puede variar según el cuidado que reciban las plantas tras su recogida, las condiciones del lugar y la especie. Para obtener mejores resultados, visite nuestra página sobre plantas autóctonas.
Una vez que las plantas hayan sido reempaquetadas, comenzarán a brotar y deberán plantarse en aproximadamente 3 días. Las plantas que no se recojan el día de la venta serán donadas a agencias locales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro para beneficio del público. No se realizarán reembolsos por pedidos de plantas no recogidos.
¿Qué ocurre si se agotan las plantas?
Lamentamos haber agotado nuestras existencias de plantas. Aquí encontrará otros lugares donde comprar plantas autóctonas.
