Frequently asked questions

Do you deliver?

We do not deliver for single order items. However, if you are part of a tree planting project that we are supporting, we may provide delivery to the planting site. Contact us for more info.

How long before my trees get planted into a project?

Most trees require care at the nursery for at least two seasons (2 years) before they can be planted.

How long before my shrubs get planted into a project?

Most shrubs require care at the nursery for at least two seasons (2 years) before they can be planted.

Why doesn't DBPN become a non-profit organization?

DBPN For-profit vs. Non-profit Model: DBPN chooses to remain a for-profit model for several reasons (e.g., to create stable jobs in Louisiana, to contribute to our tax system that funds our schools, police departments, roads and bridges, and to prevent growth limitations often associated with dependency on limited, competitive grants and philanthropic funding).

Does DBPN have discounts or claimable tax deductions for their corporate contributors/sponsors?

No. However, DBPN ensures your corporate contribution explicitly states that we are providing cause-marketing services. This expense is fully deductable under Section 162 as a standard operational cost.

How does DBPN give back to the community?

We partner with organizations like the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) and the First People' Conservation Coouncil of Louisiana (FPCC), and are active volunteers in coastal restoration projects like tree plantings, grass plantings, and building oyster reefs.


We provide seasonally available vegetables and herbs to our local Senior Center and Community Outreach Program Office (COPO) at no cost.


Beginning in 2027, we will host an annual Petit Stewards Day every Spring where kids ages 5-10 Years old get to spend a day at the plant nursery learning about the importance of responsible stewardship and they get to plant their very own tree, flower or vegetable to take home.

The Importance of Stewardship and Restorative Plants

Restorative plants play a vital role in both environmental health and human well-being. These plants not only enhance biodiversity but also contribute to ecosystem restoration and improve air quality.

By incorporating native species into our gardens and landscapes, we can create habitats for wildlife, promote soil health, and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. For instance, plants like milkweed support monarch butterflies, while echinacea can bolster our immune systems. Additionally, many restorative plants are known for their medicinal properties, providing natural remedies for various ailments.

By choosing to cultivate these plants, we not only enrich our surroundings but also foster a deeper connection with nature. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the environment and our physical and mental health, making restorative plants an essential element in sustainable living practices.
