The North Attleboro fish hatchery also has a "native plant" garden

I lived 5 minutes from that hatchery for 10 years. Drove past it almost every day and still drive by it almost weekly... still never stopped in there to check it out.

That's because they're "native plants". You can see them anywhere around where you live. If they were some fancy plants found only in other parts of the world, you might be tempted to stop in.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
