The Environmental Center provides starting material such as seeds to the clients of Providence Center who in turn plant and grow the numbers of plants needed for a particular restoration project. This collaboration provides the auxiliary benefits of providing jobs and educational opportunities to both College students and clients of Providence Center.

Currently Providence Center propagates, to order, 20 of the most common wetland plant species found in the mid-Atlantic region's aquatic environments. The highly dedicated clients and staff of Providence Center produce high quality plant materials that have been used in the various restoration projects detailed at this site.
