Fall is a great time to plant! Online ordering is now open for the Wild Ones Mountain Laurel Chapter & Connecticut College Arboretum 4th Annual Fall Native Plant Sale.
The deadline to place (or cancel) online orders is 11:59 PM on Sunday, August 25, 2024
Order Native Trees, Shrubs, Perennials & Grasses
This year we have both woody and herbaceous natives available for online ordering. Native trees and shrubs are mostly 1-3 gallon pot sizes, locally grown. The exception is shrubby St. John’s-wort (Hypericum prolificum), which was only available as plugs, so we are selling units of 4 shrub seedling plugs in a 1-quart pot. In general, smaller woody plants are economical, easy to transport and will establish more quickly after planting than larger pot-grown trees and shrubs. Pricing is based on our purchase costs, including delivery to the pickup location. Flowering perennials and grasses are sold in units of 4 plugs per species (same as last year). If an item sells out, re-stocking may be possible. Email us if you wish to be notified when a sold-out item is back in stock. No cancellations or changes to orders can be made after the ordering period ends.
