Francesca’s roots in Patagonia, Ariz. run deep—just like the native plants she helps grow. Francesca leads the Native Plant Program for the nonprofit, Borderlands Restoration Network, and runs Borderlands Nursery & Seed. Her aim is to provide restoration-quality native plants that are adapted to the unique climate of the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. Thanks to federal funding, they've scaled the program, growing over 100,000 plants each year and helping this vital restoration work truly bloom.
