Join us as Mary Carol Edwards of Green Star Wetland Plant Farm shares about native aquatic plants.

GREEN STAR WETLAND PLANT FARM, LLC is a woman-owned business providing locally-sourced native wetland plants for use in flood control basins, conservation and mitigation projects, treatment wetlands, green infrastructure, and landscape projects. Consultations are available for wetland site planning, plant selections, and management. We provide wholesale and retail sales by appointment at our farm in Alvin TX, 30 minutes south of Houston. Founded in 2018, Green Star is rooted in over 20 years of wetland construction and landscape design experience.
OUR MISSION & OUR VISION
We’re dedicated to providing excellent, locally-sourced native wetland plant stock to restore and regenerate the beauty and function of wetlands for Texas and the Gulf Coast. We envision healthy, beautiful lands and cities revitalized by native landscapes, including wetlands of all types.
Mary Carol founded Green Star Wetland Plant Farm in 2018 to meet a need for native aquatic species for all kinds of projects, from backyard raingardens to large acreage restorations. She previously worked as the stormwater wetland specialist for Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service’s Texas Community Watershed Partners, as well as TCWP’s freshwater wetland restoration program, at landscape design and landscape architecture firms, and also in genetics research labs at Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University. Mary Carol is a Houston native, raised on Galveston Bay. She has a BS in Biology and an MA in Architecture from the University of Houston and enjoys bringing both disciplines together to create wonderful natural settings.
